Let's practice how to graph one-variable and two-variable inequalities and how to determine the symbolic representation of an inequality given a verbal statement.
TEKS Standards and Student Expectations
A(2) Linear functions, equations, and inequalities. The student applies the mathematical process standards when using properties of linear functions to write and represent in multiple ways, with and without technology, linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations. The student is expected to:
A(2)(C) write linear equations in two variables given a table of values, a graph, and a verbal description
A(2)(H) write linear inequalities in two variables given a table of values, a graph, and a verbal description
Resource Objective(s)
Given a problem situation in verbal form, students will write an inequality that can be used to represent the situation.
Essential Questions
