-3x>9

x<-3

100

When graphing this inequality, where would you start? y > x + 1

plot a point on the y-intercept (0,1)

100

Would you graph this inequality with a closed or open circle? x>5

OPEN

Use a calculator: Where is √67 located on a number line?

a) Between 8 and 8.1

b) Between 8.1 and 8.2

c) Between 8.4 and 8.6

b) Between 8.1 and 8.2

12 − 3x < 9

x>1

200

When graphing this inequality, what is the next step after plotting a point at the y-intercept?

y > x + 1

move from the y-intercept and plot points using the slope (up 1, to the right 1, and repeat)

200

Would you graph this inequality with an OPEN or CLOSED circle? 4x+12−10 ≥ −2x+8

CLOSED

Which inequality symbol would you use if you see the phrase "at least" in a word problem?

greater than or equal to

300

less than or equal to

300

−3x −15 ≤ 30

x>=-15

Will this inequality be graphed with a DASHED or SOLID line: y ≥ 2x - 3

y ≥ 2x - 3 

SOLID Line

When the "alligator" is eating the variable, which direction do you graph the arrow? LEFT or RIGHT

RIGHT

Write the inequality for this situation: 

Joe paid at least $100 for the track team's lunch.

p >= $100

400

greater than or equal to

400

4x+12−10 ≥ −2x+8

x>=1

400

Will this inequality be shaded ABOVE or BELOW the line? y > x + 1

y > x + 1

ABOVE

Slushies cost $3 each and Popcorn costs $2 each. The movie theatre needs to sell at least $250 from selling these items. Write an inequality to represent this situation.

3s + 2p >= 250

500

What is the KEY RULE when solving inequalities?

If multiplying or dividing by a NEGATIVE number, you must FLIP the SIGN!

500

3(x - 2) + 5 ≤ 2x + 8

x<=9

500

Write an ordered pair that would NOT be a solution to the inequality represented by the shaded region?

answers that would NOT be a solution is anywhere in the area NOT shaded/above the line, including on the line
