What do graphical inequalities involve?

Shading regions on a coordinate grid that satisfy conditions

Step 1: Convert inequalities to...

Equations (replace inequality symbols with equals signs)

What are boundary lines?

Lines created by converting inequalities to equations

When to use dotted lines (<< or >>)

For strict inequalities

When to use solid lines (leqleq or geqgeq)

For inclusive inequalities

What dotted lines mean

Points on the boundary aren't included in the solution

What solid lines mean

Points on the boundary are included in the solution

Best point to test for correct side

Origin (0,0)(0,0), if not on boundary line

Step 4: What to shade

The overlap where all inequalities are satisfied simultaneously

If testing origin gives false statement

Use opposite side of the line
