I am new to using CL…

I’m wanting students to sketch linear inequalities and then have them type the inequality into the “math input”. I want their inequality to show up on top of the sketch they’ve already done in order to check their answer. It seems like this should be a pretty easy fix, but I can’t find the right CL to do it. Any help???

Since there’s no fill tool, using the sketch tool while checking for correctness could be a little tricky.

In addition to Daniel’s example, [here’s another example](https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/5ffb8ab95c73d40cf364aa03) that might be helpful for the graphing portion.
