Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Inequalities · Exercise 41

Graph both straight lines (left-hand side being y1 and right-hand side being y2) on the same axes. Find the point of intersection and solve the inequality by observing where it is true comparing the y-values of the lines.

$\frac{1}{2} x + 1 > \frac{1}{2} x - 5$
