Examples:
1. 3x – 2y = 2 2. 2x + 3y = 6 3. x + y = 5
4. 5x – 4y = 12 5. 2y = 2x – 7 6. 3y = 6x + 10
Examples:
1. 4x – y > 1 2. 8x – 3y ≥ 14 3. x + 5y ≤ 9
4. 2y > x – 5 5. 3 x + 7y < 2 6. y ≤ 6x + 11
In equations and inequalities in two variables, the exponent of each variable
must be equal to 1. Also, we cannot have a term which contains the product or
quotient of the two variables.
The graph of a linear inequality in two variables is the set of all points in the
rectangular coordinate system whose ordered pairs satisfy the inequality. When a
line is graphed in the coordinate plane, it separates the plane into two regions called
half- planes. The line that separates the plane is called the plane divider.
Half - plane

b. y < x – 2 y=x–2
c. y ≥ -x + 3 y = -x + 3
d. y ≤ -x – 5 y = -x – 5
2. Graph the resulting equation with a solid line if the original inequality contains ≤
or ≥ symbol. The solid line indicates that all points on the line are part of the
solution of the inequality.
If the inequality contains < or > symbol, use a dash or a broken line. The dash
or broken line indicates that the coordinates of all points on the line are not part
of the solution set of the inequality.
a. y > x + 4 b. y ≥ -x + 3
y>x+4 y ≥ -x + 3
c. y < x – 2 d. y ≤ -x – 5
y < x- 2 y ≤ -x - 5

3. Choose three points in one of the half-planes that are not on the line. Substitute
the coordinates of these points into the inequality. If the coordinates of these points
satisfy the inequality or make the inequality true, shade the half-plane or the region
on one side of the plane divider where these points lie. Otherwise, the other side of
the plane divider will be shaded.
a. y > x + 4 b. y ≥ -x + 3
y>x+4 y ≥ -x + 3
For example, points (0, 3), (2, 2), and For example, points (-2, 8), (0, 7),
(4, -5) do not satisfy the inequality and (8, -1) satisfy the inequality y ≥ -
y > x + 4. Therefore, the half-plane x + 3. Therefore, the half-plane
that does not contain these points containing these points will be
will be shaded. The shaded portion shaded. The shaded portion
constitutes the solution of the linear constitutes the solution of the linear
inequality. inequality.
c. y < x – 2 d. y ≤ -x – 5
y < x- 2
y ≤ -x - 5
For example, points (0, 5), (-3, 7), For example, points (12, -3), (0, -9),
and (2, 10) do not satisfy the and (3, -11) satisfy the inequality y ≤
inequality y < x – 2. Therefore, the -x – 5. Therefore, the half-plane

Solving Problems involving Linear Inequalities in Two
Variables
Examples:
1. The total amount of 1-peso coins and 5-peso coins in the bag is more than Php
150.
➢ The situation can be modeled by the linear inequality x + 5y > 150, where x is
the number of 1-peso coins and y is the number of 5-peso coins.
2. Emily bought two blouses and a pair of pants. The total amount she paid for the
items is not more than Php 980.
➢ The situation can be modeled by the linear inequality 2x + y ≤ 980, where x is
the cost of each blouse and y is the cost of a pair of pants.
In the first example, if there are five 1-peso coins and fifty 5-peso coins, the
ordered pair will be (5, 50). Substitute this ordered pair in the inequality.
x + 5y > 150; (5, 50)
5 + 5(50) > 150
5 + 250 > 150
255 > 150.
Since 255 is more than 150, which is a true statement, then the ordered pair (5, 50)
can be a solution to the linear inequality x + 5y > 150.
