Graphing Linear Inequalities

in One Variable
Lesson Objective:
• Graph linear inequalities on a number line.
Solving Linear Inequalities in One Variable
Solution Set
o is the set of all replacements of the variable that will make
the inequality true.

One way to represent the solution set is by the use of a number line.
