Question:
A roller coaster requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall. Part a: Write an inequality that represents the height h, in inches, a person must be to ride. Part b: Graph the inequality on a number line. Part c: Is a person who is 51 inches tall allowed to ride? Is a person who is 47 inches tall allowed to ride? Explain.
Writing and Graphing Linear Inequalities
This lesson covers how to translate a real-world 'at least' condition into a linear inequality, graph the solution set on a number line using a closed circle and shaded ray, and verify whether specific values satisfy the inequality. Students practice interpreting inequality language and checking solutions by substitution.
In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Translate phrases such as 'at least' into the correct inequality symbol (≥)
• Write a linear inequality to represent a real-world constraint
• Graph a linear in
