How to graph Linear Inequality?

In graphing linear inequality in two variables, there are steps to be followed.

EXAMPLE: Given : x + y < 6

STEP 1: CHANGE THE INEQUALITY INTO AN EQUATION.

x+y<6  x+y=6
STEP 2: GET THE X-INTERCEPT AND Y-INTERCEPT USING THE EQUATION, x + y = 6.
Let y = 0 to get the y-intercept. Let x = 0 to get the y-intercept.
x+y=6 x+y=6
x+0=6 0+y=6
x=6 y=6

x-intercept: (6,0) y-intercept: (0,6)

STEP 3: PLOT THE X-INTERCEPT AND Y-INTERCEPT IN THE CARTESIAN PLANE.

STEP 4: INTERPRET THE GRAPH

Every ordered pair within the shaded region excluding (6,0) and (0,6) will satisfy the inequality x+y < 6.
