Method 4: Solving Inequalities Graphically (Higher tier)

  1. Plot boundary line (solid if ≤ or ≥, dashed if < or >)
  2. Choose test point not on the line (often use origin if convenient)
  3. Substitute coordinates into inequality
  4. Shade correct region: if test point satisfies inequality, shade that side
  5. Check solution by testing another point in shaded region
