8 Systems of Inequalities
PRACTICE:
1) Graph

2 x +2 y <14

*Solid or Dashed line?

*Remember to check for a solution
point!

2) Graph

2 x + y 4

*Solid or Dashed line?

*Remember to check for a solution
point!

3) Describe when to use a solid line or a dashed line.

4) What does this mean in terms of our possible solutions?

Chapter 6.8 Systems of Inequalities

REVIEW OF SYSTEMS:

Start with 2 equations that represent 2 lines

o Graph the 2 lines after writing each in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)
o Use Substitution
o Use Elimination
Possible Solutions:
o Intersection at one point (consistent and independent system)
o Intersection at infinite points (consistent and dependent system)
o No Intersection at all (inconsistent)

CONNECTION:

Solving systems of inequalities is exactly like solving systems of equations because

o I graph two lines
o I am looking for intersections
Graphing systems of inequalities is exactly like graphing inequalities because
o I graph a line
o I decide whether it is dashed or solid
o I use a test point to determine which side is shaded
The MAJOR DIFFERENCE is
o I will have two shaded regions
o How do YOU think our solutions are going to appear?

EXAMPLE:
Graph

y 2 x +1

y x+3
different)

* Decide for each: solid or dashed?

* Test Point for each one: (it can be the same point or

**Your solutions should be the points that satisfy BOTH equations!!

PRACTICE:
A:

2x+ y 2

B:

2x+ y<4

* Decide for each: solid or dashed?

* Test Point for each one: (it can be the same point or

different)

My solution is the region ABOVE/BELOW line A and ABOVE/BELOW line B.

I DO/DO NOT include the points on Line A.
I DO/ DO NOT include the points on Line B.

A:

y3

B : x + y 1

* Decide for each: solid or dashed?

* Test Point for each one: (it can be the same point or different)

My solution is the region ABOVE/BELOW line A and ABOVE/BELOW line B.

I DO/DO NOT include the points on Line A.
I DO/ DO NOT include the points on Line B.
A:

y 4

* Decide for each: solid or dashed?

B:

3 x+ y 2

* Test Point for each one: (it can be the same point or

different)

My solution is the region ABOVE/BELOW line A and ABOVE/BELOW line B.

I DO/DO NOT include the points on Line A.
I DO/ DO NOT include the points on Line B.

A:

3 x y 2

B:

3 x y <5

* Decide for each: solid or dashed?

* Test Point for each one: (it can be the same point or

How do I describe my solution??
