Graphing Solution Region of Inequalities
The solution region of an inequality consists of all points (a, b) such that when x = a, and y = b,
all inequalities are true.
Example
Check to see if given points are in the solution region of a system of inequalities.
1.
Graph the solution region of a system of inequalities:
x + 2y

2
x
+ y

2.
Which of the following points are within the solution region?
(-1.6, 1.8), (-2, -5), (2.8, -1.4), (-8,4)
Before
There may be differences in the results of calculations and graph plotting depending on the setting.
Start
Return all settings to the default value or to delete all data.
