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.
Answer: yes
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Substitute x = 4 and y = 4 into each inequality. First: 2(4) − 3 = 8 − 3 = 5, and 4 ≤ 5 is true. Second: 4 − 1 = 3, and 4 ≥ 3 is true. Both are true, so (4, 4) is where the two shadings overlap: yes.
✓ Correct!
