Question

Fill in the blank:

Given the inequality y ≥ 2x - 1, your graph would be a______ line, shaded_____ the line.

Answer 1

Explanation:

....would be a SOLID line ( to show that the line is included)

shaded ABOVE the line ( because it is ' y is greater than' )

Answer 2

`\textsf{Your\;graph\;would\;be\;a\;$\boxed{\bf solid}$\;line,\;shaded\;$\boxed{\bf above}$\;the\;line.}`

Explanation:

When graphing inequalities:

• Use a dashed line for < or >.
• Use a solid line for ≤ or ≥.
• Shade below the line for < or ≤.
• Shade above the line for > or ≥.

Therefore, given the inequality y ≥ 2x - 1:

• Your graph would be a solid line, shaded above the line.
