LO: To be able to graph an inequality

 Starter
Solve the following Inequalities:

a) 3x + 5 > 26 b) 5x + 4 < 3x + 10

c) 8 – x > 16
 Inequality Graphs
• Just like an equation, an inequality can
be plotted as a graph

• The difference will be that there is a

range of possible values

• You will be looking at shading regions

that satisfy a particular condition…
 SOLID line if

Inequality Graphs
less/greater than or
equal to
(≤ or ≥)

• On a set of axes, show

the set of values that
satisfy the inequality;
x≤2

Draw the line showing;

x=2

But the inequality is

saying a range of values…

x = 2
 DOTTED line if

Inequality Graphs
less/greater than but
not equal to
(< or >)

• On a set of axes, show

the set of values that
satisfy the inequality;
y < -5

Draw the line showing;

y = -5
y = -5
But the inequality is
saying a range of values…
 Inequality Graphs
• On a set of axes, show
y = x
the set of values that
satisfy the inequality;
y>x

Draw the line showing;

y=x

But the inequality is

saying a range of values…
 Inequality Graphs
• On a set of axes, show the
set of values that satisfy the
inequalities;
y < -1
x ≤ -6

Draw the lines showing;

y = -1 y = -1
x = -6

But the inequality is saying a

range of values…

x = -6
 Inequality Graphs
• On a set of axes, show the y = x + 3
set of values that satisfy the
inequality;
y≤x+3

Draw the line showing;

y=x+3

x 0 1 2
y 3 4 5

But the inequality is saying a

range of values…
 Inequality Graphs
• On a set of axes, show the
set of values that satisfy the y = 5 - x
inequality;
y>5-x

Draw the line showing;

y=5-x

x 0 1 2
y 5 4 3

But the inequality is saying a

range of values…
