Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

The document discusses linear inequalities in two variables. It defines linear inequalities and explains how to determine if an ordered pair is a solution. It also covers how to graph linear inequalities by changing the inequality to an equation and drawing the boundary line as either a broken or solid line depending on the inequality symbol. Examples are provided to demonstrate solving, graphing, and determining the type of boundary line for various linear inequalities in two variables.

LINEAR INEQUALITIES

LINEAR INEQUALITY
IN TWO VARIABLES
INEQUALITY
o a relationship between two
expressions or values that are not
equal to each other.
o it compares two values, showing if
one is less than, greater than, or
simply not equal to another value.

A solution to a system of linear inequality in two variables is an ordered
pair (x,y) that makes the inequality statement true.

EXAMPLE:
Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution to
the linear inequality

LINEAR INEQUALITY
WITH ONE VARIABLE
STEPS IN GRAPHING A LINEAR INEQUALITIES:

1. Change the inequality symbol to an equal sign


to turn the statement into an equation.
2. If the inequality statement involves , the
boundary line is drawn as a broken line. This is to
show that the boundary line is not part of the
graph. If the inequality statement involves , the
boundary line is drawn as a solid line. This is to
show that the boundary line is not part of the
graph.
EXAMPLES:
Graph the inequality.
