Algebra › How to graph a two-step inequality
Which graph depicts the following inequality?
No real solution.
Let's put the inequality in slope-intercept form to make it easier to graph:
The inequality is now in slope-intercept form. Graph a line with slope and y-intercept
.
Because the inequality sign is greater than or equal to, a solid line should be used.
Next, test a point. The origin is good choice. Determine if the following statement is true:
The statement is false. Therefore, the section of the graph that does not contain the origin should be shaded.
