à 5.6 Graphing Linear Inequalities
äïPlease graph the solution set for each inequality.

êêê x │ y
ê 2x + 3y = 6è──┼──

éS
To find the equation of the boundary line to the solution set of the
inequality 2x + 3y ≤ 6, you should replace the "≤" symbol with "=" to
give 2x + 3y = 6.
The graph of this equation is the boundary line of the solution set of
the given inequality.ïYou should then graph this line by finding the
intercepts.
êêêêè x │ y
êêêêè ──┼──
êêêêè 0 │ 2
êêêêè 3 │ 0
The two intercepts (0,2) and (3,0) are plotted on the coordinate system
and a solid line is drawn through the two points.ïThe line is drawn
solid whenever the inequality symbol is "≤" or "≥".ïIf the inequality
symbol is ">" or "<" the line drawn through the two points is dotted.
Since this is the boundary to the solution set, the solution set is
either to the left or right of the line.ïWe can identify which side by
trying a point not on the line in the orginal inequality. A convenient
point to try is the origin, (0,0).
êêêêï2x + 3y ≤ 6
#êêêê2∙0 + 3∙0 ≤ 6 ───¥ï0 ≤ 8 true
Since this is a true statement, we know the solution set is on the left
side of the line.ïWe therefore shade in to the left side of the line.
If the statement had been false we would have shaded in to the right
side of the line.
Any ordered pair in the shaded region is a solution to 2x + 3y ≤ 6, and
any ordered pair not in the shaded region is not a solution.
