      What's an Inequality?

      Inequalities come up all the time when you're working algebra problems. In this tutorial you'll learn what an inequality is, and you'll see all the common inequality symbols that you're likely to see :)

  • represent a given situation using verbal descriptions, tables, graphs, and equations in the form y = kx or y = x + b.

  • Determine the slope of a line given a table of values, a graph, two points on the line, and an equation written in various forms, including y = mx + b, ax + by = c, and y - y1 = m(x - x1)
