What is an Inequality Graph?

An inequality graph shades the infinite region of coordinate points (x, y) that satisfy an inequality relation such as y ≥ f(x).

Formula & Step-by-Step Calculation

Solution Set: { (x, y) | y ≥ f(x) } (Upper Shaded Half-Plane)

Boundary curve with directional region shading.

Worked Step-by-Step Examples

Example 1

Graph y ≥ x² - 4

Solution: Shades the region inside and above the parabola
• Boundary curve y = x² - 4; Test point (0, 0): 0 ≥ -4 is True ⟹ shade region containing (0,0)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between ≥ and > on an inequality graph?

Inclusive inequalities (≥, ≤) have solid boundary lines, whereas strict inequalities (>, <) have dashed boundary lines.
