Boundary line
Graph and solve Boundary line in Grade 10 algebra: identify boundary lines, shade solution regions, and apply Saxon Algebra 2 inequality methods Saxon Algebra 2.
Key Concepts
To graph a linear inequality, first graph the related linear equation. Make the line dashed for $<$ or $ $ and solid for $\leq$ or $\geq$. This is the boundary line, which separates the plane into two half planes.
For the inequality $y < 2x + 5$, the boundary line is $y = 2x + 5$, and it must be dashed. For the inequality $4x + 3y \geq 12$, the boundary line is $4x + 3y = 12$, and it must be solid.
The boundary line is like a fence in a massive field. A solid line is a solid fence, meaning points on it are part of the solution (like for $\leq$). A dashed line is like an electric fence you can't touch, so points on it are not included (like for $<$). It perfectly divides the graph into two zones.
