Systems of Inequalities: Is the Point a Solution? — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 9 · Whoobee    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer yes or no. A point is a solution only if it makes both inequalities true. Points on a dashed line are not included; points on a solid line are.

How to solve

Substitute the point's x and y into each inequality. If both are true, the point is a solution; it lies where the two shadings overlap. If even one is false, it is not. A point on a dashed line is not included (< or >); a point on a solid line is (≤ or ≥).

Example

The graph shows the system y ≥ 2x - 8 and y ≤ -x + 1. Is the point (-3, 3) a solution of the system? Answer yes or no.

-8-8-6-6-4-4-2-222446688(-3, 3)

Answer: yes
