Algebra 2 graphing linear inequalities worksheet
Two decisions per question: whether the boundary line is dashed or solid, and which side gets shaded. The answer key shows both.

How to do these
Graph
- Draw y = 2x - 3, dashed because it is a strict inequality.
- Test the origin: 0 > -3 is true.
- So shade the side containing the origin.
The answer is dashed line, shade above.
Where students go wrong
Shading the wrong side by guessing. Test a point, and the origin is the easiest one unless the line passes through it. Greater-than does not always mean above once the line is rearranged.
Also called shading inequalities, half planes or graphing inequalities on a grid.
What you can put on this worksheet
- One inequality, shaded
- Graph → dashed line, shade above
- A fraction slope
- Graph → solid line, shade above
- A horizontal or vertical boundary
- Graph → Dashed horizontal line , shade above
- Is the point a solution?
- Is a solution of ? → No: is false
