LINEAR INEQUALITIES
• A linear inequality in two variables can be written in any
one of these forms:
Ax + By < C
Ax + By > C
Ax + By ≤ C
Ax + By ≥ C
• An ordered pair (x, y) is a solution of the linear inequality if
the inequality is TRUE when x and y are substituted into the
inequality.
EXAMPLE 1
• Which ordered pair is a solution of
5x - 2y ≤ 6? A
A. (0, -3) (0, -3) (5, 5) (1, -2) (3, 3)
5(0) – 2(-3) ≤ 6 5(5) – 2(5) ≤ 6 5(1) – 2(-2) ≤ 6 5(3) – 2(3) ≤ 6
B. (5, 5) 0+6 ≤6 25 – 10 ≤ 6 5+4 ≤6 15 – 6 ≤ 6
6 ≤ 6 15 ≤ 6 9 ≤ 6 9 ≤ 6
C. (1, -2) True False False False
D. (3, 3)
Example 2
Which ordered pair is a solution of
3x + y > 2 ? B and D
A. (0, 0) (0, 0) (1, 2) (-3, 2) (3, -3)
