DOTTED line if
less/greater than but
not equal to
(< or >)

• Plot a graph to show

y = 2x - 1
the region where;

y≤x

y < 2x - 1
x 0 1 2
y -1 1 3

SOLID line if
less/greater than or y=x
equal to
(≤ or ≥)
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
Learning Objective

To identify the inequalities that satisfy a shaded region,

using Horizontal and Vertical graphs
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region
shaded on the graph,
as an inequality

What is the equation

y=2
of the line?

So;
y≥2
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region x = -7
shaded on the graph,
as an inequality

What is the equation

of the line?

So;
x > -7
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region
shaded on the graph,
as an inequality
y=7
What is the equation
of each of the lines?

So; y = -3
y > -3 and y ≤ 7

-3 < y ≤ 7
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region
shaded on the y=x
graph, as an
inequality
y=4
What is the
equation of each of
the lines?

So;
y < 4 and y ≥ x
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region shaded y = 2x - 4
on the graph, as an
inequality

What is the equation of

each of the lines?

So;

x>3

y < 2x - 4
x=3
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region shaded y = 3x
on the graph, as an
y = -x
inequality

What is the equation of

each of the lines?

So;

y ≤ -x

y ≤ 3x
Describing a Region (Inequalities)
• Describe the region shaded y = 4x + 2
on the graph, as an
inequality

What is the equation of

each of the lines?

So;
y = 1/2x + 2
y > 1/2x + 2

y ≥ 4x + 2
