Lesson Summary:

In this lesson, Julie Harland teaches how to graph linear inequalities with two variables by demonstrating the process with two examples. The first is y≤2x-3, where the solid line y=2x-3 is part of the solution, and the second is x+y>3, where the dotted line x+y=3 is not part of the solution. She emphasizes the importance of choosing the right side of the line to shade and suggests checking one ordered pair to ensure accuracy.

Lesson Description:

    This lesson picks up where the last lesson left off, showing a couple of more examples of graphing linear inequalities in a coordinate plane. First, the lines are graphed, determining whether the line should be dashed or solid, and then one side of the line is shaded. All steps are explained for each problem.
