The line is dotted when the inequality is a strict inequality, ie it is either "less than" (<) or "greater than" (>).
If there is an equality in the inequality, ie "less than or equal to" (≤), "greater than or equal to" (≥) or "equal to" (=) then the line is drawn as a solid line.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of line do you use to graph an inequality?
A dashed/dotted line if it is > or <. Otherwise use a regular line. Also shading is required.
Why do we represent the solution to an inequality with a graph on a number line but we don't do the same for the solution to an equation?
An equation has an equal sign, which means that we know what the variable is equal to :)
What does a dashed line represent on a graph?
It can represent the graph of a strict inequality where the inequality is satisfied by the area on one side of the dashed line and not on the other. Points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.
An equation where the graph of all solutions lies on a line?
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.
A linear equation is an equation whose graph is a straight line?
yes
When graphing an inequality what does a dotted line mean?
A dotted line in a graph of an inequality indicates that the boundary line is not included in the solution set. This typically occurs with inequalities using "<" or ">", meaning that points on the dotted line do not satisfy the inequality. In contrast, a solid line would indicate that points on the line are included in the solution set, as seen with "<=" or ">=".

In the fallowing inequality determine if the graph would contain a solid or dotted line then determine If the solution is above or below the line?
To determine whether to use a solid or dotted line for a given inequality, check if the inequality includes equal to (≥ or ≤) or not (>) or (<). If it includes equal to, use a solid line; if not, use a dotted line. For the solution area, if the inequality is greater than (>) or greater than or equal to (≥), the solution lies above the line; for less than (<) or less than or equal to (≤), it lies below the line.
Which inequality symbols are represented by a solid line on a graph?
The graph of an inequality is a region, not a line.
What best describes the graph of the inequality 3x - y 5?
-2
When graphing a system of inequalities the line is dotted for the?
strict inequality

What does a dashed line represent on a graph?
It can represent the graph of a strict inequality where the inequality is satisfied by the area on one side of the dashed line and not on the other. Points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.
Explain when to use a solid line as a boundary when graphing a linear inequality?
If the points that are ON the line satisfy the inequality then the line should be solid. Otherwise it should be dotted. Another way of putting that is, if the inequality is given in terms of ≤ or ≥, then use a solid line. If they are < or > use a dotted line.
How do write the Slope-intercept inequality for a graph?
First, write the equation of the line of the graph. Next, if the line is solid, it means equal to. If it is dotted: not equal to. Lastly, the shaded portion of a graph is where the points satisfy the equation. So pick a point in the shaded region, plug it in, and put the appropriate larger than, or less than sign to make the statement true. EX: plug in (3,1) to y _ 3x+1 1 _ 10, then 1 < 10 So, y < 3x + 1 (add [or equal to] if the line is solid)
Which is a correct way of graphing the line y -x - 2?
y -x - 2 is not an equation (nor an inequality) and so there is no way to graph it.
What is the graph of linear equation?
The graph will be a line.
