Work Step by Step

Graph each inequality on the same plane. Step 1: Convert the inequality to an equation by replacing inequality by = sign. Equation 1: \[x\le 3\] \[x=3\] Equation 2: \[y>-2\] \[y=-2\] Step 2: Graph the equation using intercept form or slope-intercept form. Equation 1: \[x\le 3\] The equation does not contain y. For any value of y, x is constant. The graph will be parallel to the y-axis. The line passes through \[\left\{ \ldots \left( 3,-1 \right),\left( 3,0 \right),\left( 3,1 \right)\ldots \right\}\] The line is solid since the inequality contains \[\le \]the symbol. Equation 2: \[y>-2\] The equation does not contain x. For any value of x, y is constant. The graph will be parallel to the x-axis. The line passes through \[\left\{ \ldots \left( -1,-2 \right),\left( 0,-2 \right),\left( 1,-2 \right)\ldots \right\}\] The line is dashed since the inequality contains the > symbol.
