I designed this 3-Act Task to serve as an introduction to linear inequalities in two variables and systems of linear inequalities in two variables. A link to all lesson files may be found at the end of this page.

Act 2
Define three lines to form a triangle, with the smallest area possible, that contains the four points. Justify how you know each coordinate lies within the triangle.

Act 3
Extension:
How might you define 4 points such that you would need 4 inequalities to define the smallest possible region that contains them all? Would your method work to reliably require 5 inequalities for 5 points? n inequalities for n points?
