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

Example 2
Which ordered pair is a solution of
3x + y > 2 ? B and D

GRAPHING LINEAR
INEQUALITIES
• The graph of a linear inequality is the set of all
points in a coordinate plane that represent
solutions of the inequality.
• We represent the boundary line of the inequality by
drawing the function represented in the inequality.
GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITIES
The boundary line will be a:
• Solid line when ≤ and ≥ are used.
• Dashed line when < and > are used.
Our graph will be shaded on one side of the
boundary line to show where the solutions of the
inequality are located.
EXAMPLE
1
Graph the inequality x ≤ 4.
Set and plot x = 4.
• Decide whether to
use a solid or
dashed line.
Shade where the
solutions will be.
Example 2
Graph y > 3
Set and plot y = 3
Sketch the boundary
line of the graph.
Solid or dashed
line?
Shade where the
solutions are.
EXAMPLE Solutions:

(5, 0)
Sketch the boundary line of the
graph.

them.

(0, -3)
Solid or dashed line?
Use (0, 0) as a test point.
3(0) – 4(0) > 12 False
Shade where the solutions are.
Example Graph 3x + 4y > 8

graph.
Use Slope-Intercept form
