Buddhism, known as the fourth largest Indian religion of the world and the two main forms of Buddhism are Theravada Buddhism and Mahayana.

Theravada Buddhism: It is the one of the branch of Buddhism and believed as oldest form. Burma, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam are some of the countries in which this form of Buddhism is performed. It is an orthodox tradition and thus it emphasizes walking on the same path as ancient Buddhism did.

Mahayana Buddhism: Mahayana Buddhism is one of the two major branches of Buddhism in the present time. It is initiated from India and spread northwards to many other Asian countries, such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia and Singapore. There are further subdivisions of the Mahayana sect, such as Zen / Chan, the Holy Land, Tiantai, Nichiren, Shingon, Tendai and Tibetan Buddhism.

Graphing Linear Inequalities

This is a graph of a linear inequality:

linear inequality y <= x +2

The inequality y ≤ x + 2

You can see the y = x + 2 line, and the shaded area is where y is less than or equal to x + 2

Linear Inequality

A Linear Inequality is like a Linear Equation (such as y = 2x+1) ...

... but it will have an Inequality like <, >, ≤, or ≥ instead of an =.

How to Graph a Linear Inequality

First, graph the "equals" line, then shade in the correct area.

There are three steps:

Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.

Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)

Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥)

or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).

Let us try some examples:

Example: y≤2x-1

1. The inequality already has "y" on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange

2. Plot y=2x-1 (as a solid line because y≤ includes equal to)

Describe the response of the political power structure of the deep south to the brown v. board of education and brown ii rulings

vazorg [7]

The Brown vs. Board ruling stated "separate but equal" schools were inherently unequal. In Brown II, the court ruled that states must do this with "all deliberate speed."

Even though this was the case, many southern politicians tried to stop desegregation. A perfect example would be the Little Rock 9. This group of nine African-American citizens tried to enter Central High School, a previously all white school. When they were about to enter for their first day, the Arkansas National Guard refused to allow them enter the school.This was one way in which state governments tried to prevent desegregation.

In response to this, President Eisenhower sent in the National Guard to escort the Little Rock 9 into Central High School.
