Systems of Linear Inequalities — Easy Worksheet 2

Grade 9 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Answer yes or no, or write the inequality. A dashed boundary line means < or >; a solid line means ≤ or ≥.

How to solve

A point is a solution of a system only if it makes every inequality true. Substitute its x- and y-values into each inequality and check. On a graph, the solutions are in the region where the shadings overlap; points on a dashed line are not included.

Example

Is P(0, 5) a solution of the system y > -3x and y > 3x + 3? Answer yes or no.

Answer: yes

right so far
1. Is P(2, 2) a solution of the system y < 3x - 3 and y > -2x - 3? Answer yes or no.
