Graphing Systems of Inequalities Worksheets
How to Graph Systems of Inequalities First, graph the "equals" line, then shade in the correct area. There are three steps: Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right. Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>) Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤). Let us try some examples: Example: y≤2x-1 The inequality already has "y" on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange Plot y=2x-1 (as a solid line because y≤ includes equal to) Shade the area below (because y is less than or equal to)

Basic Lesson
Demonstrates how to solve systems of inequalities graphically. Practice problems are provided. Draw three points (x , y) on the graph. If the point makes the inequality true, shade that side of the line. If the point does not make the inequality true, shade the opposite side of the line.
