The document discusses linear inequalities in two variables and their graphical representations. It introduces the Cartesian coordinate system developed by Rene Descartes and its importance. It explains how to graph linear inequalities by first drawing the line as an equation, then determining whether to shade above or below the line based on whether a test point satisfies the inequality. Students are assigned to bring graphing paper, coloring materials, and a ruler to class on Monday to graph linear inequalities.
