System of Linear Inequalities
 Ifthe 2 lines intersect at one point, the
plane is divided into 4 areas. The
solution could be found in one of these
areas.
 Often graphing and looking for
overlapping areas is easier than looking
at points in each region.
The set of all solutions of a system of linear
inequalities is called its solution set.

To graph the solution set for a system of

linear inequalities in two variables:

1. Shade the half-plane of solutions for

EACH inequality in the system.

2. The solution of the system of

inequalities is in the intersection of the
half-planes.
How are we going to
solve a system of
inequalities
in two variables by
graphing?
Steps solving system of inequalities in two
variables by graphing:
1. Draw the graph of each inequality on the same
coordinate plane. (using y=mx+b)
2. Choose at least two points/ coordinates on the
plane and set as a test point/s in order to
determine the solution of the inequality. (0,0)
TEST
3. Shade the appropriate half-plane.
4. The region where shaded areas overlap is the
graphical solution to the system. If the graph do
not overlap, the system has no solution.
