boundary line | A line that divides the coordinate plane into two regions. If points along the boundary line are included in the solution set, then a solid line is used; if points along the boundary line are not included then a dotted line is used. |
coordinate plane | A plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis. |
linear inequality | A mathematical statement in two variables using the inequality symbols <, >, ≤, or ≥ to show the relationship between two expressions. When the inequality symbol is replaced by an equal sign, the resulting related equation will graph as a straight line. |
