System of Linear Inequalities
Steps to graphing the solution to a System of Linear Inequalities

1. Graph and shade the solution to the first linear inequality.
   
2. Graph and shade the solution to the second linear inequality.
   
3. The region that is double shaded is the solution to the system.
   Examples:
   Graph the solution
   
4. x > -4, y ≤ 2
   
5. y < -x + 2, y ≥ 3x - 4
   
6. x - 2y ≤ 4, x - 2y > 4
