How to graph linear equations & inequalities?

Graphing Linear Equations
A linear equation in two variables, typically written in the form y = mx + b, represents a straight line on a coordinate plane. The m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

Steps to graph a linear equation:

1. Find the y-intercept: The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It’s the value of b in the equation. Plot this point on the y-axis.
2. Use the slope to find another point: The slope, m, tells you how much the line rises or falls for every unit of horizontal change.

• If m is positive, the line rises from left to right.
• If m is negative, the line falls from left to right.
• For example, if m = 2, you can move 2 units up and 1 unit to the right from the y-intercept.

3. Draw a line through the points: Use a ruler to draw a straight line through the two points you plotted.

Graphing Linear Inequalities

Steps to graph a linear inequality:

1. Graph the boundary line: Treat the inequality as an equation and graph the corresponding line.

• Use a solid line for inequalities with ≤ or ≥ symbols.
• Use a dashed line for inequalities with < or > symbols.

2. Test a point: Choose a point not on the line, usually (0,0) is easiest.
3. Shade the appropriate region:

• If the test point satisfies the inequality, shade the region containing the point.
• If the test point does not satisfy the inequality, shade the region not containing the point.
