How about linear inequalities in two variables?

What Is It

How to find the solution of System of Linear Inequalities using graphing

Solving a system of linear inequalities is the same as solving system of linear
equations. However, with inequalities, we will not find a point of intersection. Instead,
the solution set will be the region that satisfies all of the linear inequalities.

Steps in solving system of linear inequalities by graphing:

1. Solve the inequality for y, follow the slope – intercept form (y = mx + b)

2. Treat the inequality as a linear equation and graph the line as either a solid
line or a dashed line depending on the inequality sign.

 If the inequality sign is (< or >), draw a dashed line.

4
  If the inequality sign is (≤ or ≥) , draw a solid line.

3. Shade the region that satisfy both inequalities.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for each inequality

5. The solution set will be the overlapping region of all the inequalities

Example 1: Determine the solution to the following system of inequalities.

5x – 2y ≤ 10
3x + 2y > 6

Solution
Step 1: Solve the inequality for y

5x – 2y ≤ 10

– 2y ≤ – 5x + 10

y ≥ 5/2 x – 5

When dividing by a negative number, remember to change the inequality sign to its
opposite inequality sign.

Step 2: Graph the boundary line for the inequality

y ≥ 5/2x – 5

Since the inequality symbol is “greater than or equal to” the boundary line will be a
solid line.

y ≥ 5/2x - 5
5
Step 3: Shade the region that satisfies the inequality

Since the inequality states that y must be greater than or equal to 5/2x – 5, the
region to be shaded will be that above the boundary line.

y ≥ 5/2x - 5

You can also use a test point in shading the solution of the inequalities.
The easiest test point you can use is the ordered pair (0,0), however, you
can choose any ordered pair you want as a test point.

a. Substitute the test point to the inequalities, where y = 0 and x = 0.

y ≥ 5/2x – 5
0 ≥ 5/2 (0) – 5
0≥0–5
0 ≥ -5 True

b. Since the statement is true, that zero is greater than or equal to

negative 5, therefore test point (0,0) is part of the solution and you
will shade the upper portion of the graph.

Step 4: Solve the second inequality for y

3x + 2y > 6
2y > – 3x + 6
y > –3/2 x + 3

6
Step 5: Graph the boundary line for the second inequality

y > – 3/2x + 3

Since the inequality is “greater than” the boundary line will be a dashed line.

y > -3/2x + 3

Step 6: Shade the region that satisfies the second inequality

Since the inequality states the y must be greater than –3/2x + 3 the
region to be shaded will be that above the boundary line.

y > -3/2x + 3

7
 You can also use a test point in shading the solution of the inequalities.
The most easiest test point you can use is the ordered pair (0,0), however,
you can choose any ordered pair you want as a test point.

a. Substitute the test point to the inequalities, where y = 0 and x =

0.

y > -3/2x + 3

0 >-3/2 (0) + 3

0> 0 + 3

0 >3 False

b. Since the statement is false, that zero is greater than 3,

therefore test point (0,0) is not part of the solution and you will
shade the upper portion of the graph.

Step 7: The solution set will be the overlapped region

The solution set region (as shown in darker region) would include the part of the solid
boundary line.All points that lie on the dashed line are not part of the solution
of the system.

Solution of the
system

y > -3/2x + 3

y ≥ 5/2x - 5

8
 In determining whether the given ordered pairs are solution to the system.
Substitute the x and y values to the given system of linear inequalities.

Example:
(2, 3) 5x – 2y ≤ 10 3x + 2y > 6
5(2) – 2(3) ≤ 10 3(2) + 2(3) > 6
10 – 6 ≤ 10 6+6>6
4 ≤ 10 TRUE 12 > 6 TRUE

Therefore: (2, 3) is one of the solutions to the system

(0, 0) 5x – 2y ≤ 10 3x + 2y > 6
5(0) – 2(0) ≤ 10 3(0) + 2(0) > 6
0 – 0 ≤ 10 0+0>6
0 ≤ 10 TRUE 0 > 6 FALSE

Therefore: (0, 0) is NOT one of the solutions to the system

because it does not satisfy both inequalities

What’s More

To solve a system of inequalities in two variables by graphing, take note on

the following:

1. Draw the individual graph of each inequality on the same

coordinate plane. Shade the appropriate half-plane. Recall that if
all points on the line are included in the solution, it is a closed half
plane, and the line is solid. On the other hand, if the points on the
line are not part of the solution of the inequality, it is an open half
plane and the line is broken.

2. The region where shaded areas overlap is the graphical solution to

the system.

3. If the graphs do not overlap, then the system has no solution.

Example: Solve the system x+y≥2

x-y>3

9
 The graph of x + y ≥ 2 and x – y > 3 on the cartesian plane. The
region where the shaded regions overlap is the solution of the
system. Points that lies on a dashed line are not part of the
solution.

x+y≥2

the system
