Lesson Plan
Systems of linear inequalities
Goals / Objectives
Determine by substitution whether an ordered pair satisfies a linear inequality in two variables
Graph a linear inequality in two variables: plot the boundary, choose solid or dashed from the symbol's strictness, and shade the correct half-plane using a test point
Graph a system of two or more linear inequalities and identify the overlap as the solution region
Verify membership in a solution region both graphically and by substituting into every inequality
Recover a system of inequalities from a shaded region by reading boundaries, line styles, and one interior test point
Translate a constraint word problem into a system of inequalities, including the implicit non-negativity constraints
