Linear Inequalities
A Linear Inequality is an inequality whose graph is a region of the coordinate plane that is bounded by a line.
> or < use a dashed line
> or < use a solid line
When y is by itself
If y is > or > shade above the line
If y is < or < shade below
You can also pick a check point and see if it works.
