Linear functions practice

Graphing two-variable inequalities worksheets

Graph eight linear inequalities on coordinate planes. Select any nonempty combination of <, ≤, > and ≥, then draw the boundaries and shade the solution regions with a separate graphical key.

Draw the boundary line, dashed for a strict comparison and solid when equality is allowed. Test a point off the boundary and shade the matching side.

A line is the boundary, not the whole answer

Each of the eight prompts describes a set of ordered pairs. The answer key shows a dashed boundary for a strict comparison or a solid boundary when equality is allowed, together with the correct shaded half-plane.

Test a point away from the boundary before choosing the shaded side. The boundary style and the region each carry part of the mathematical meaning.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Represent all ordered pairs satisfying a linear inequality with a boundary and a half-plane.

Worked example

Graph y ≤ −(1/2)x + 2.

Draw a solid line through (0, 2) and (4, 0), then shade below it.

Equality is included, so the boundary is solid. The test point (0, 0) satisfies 0 ≤ 2, so shade the side containing the origin. The solution contains ordered pairs, not a one-dimensional ray.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Draw the boundary equation before deciding which side to shade.
  • Decide line style separately from shading direction.
  • Use a test point that is not on the boundary.
  • Check one point in each half-plane and one on the boundary.
