Linear Inequality in Two
⮚ It is anVariables
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 < 𝐶,
inequality that can be written in one of the following forms:

𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 > 𝐶,
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≥ 𝐶, and
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≤ 𝐶,
where 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶 are real numbers and 𝐴 and 𝐵 are both not equal to
zero.
⮚ These forms can also be written in slope-intercept form of linear

𝑦 < 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏,
inequality as the following:
13

𝑦 > 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏,
𝑦 ≤ 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, and
𝑦 ≥ 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏,
where m is the slope and 𝑏 is the 𝑦- intercept.
Graph
⮚ For the inequality, the graph is a
region or a half-plane and the line
defines the boundary of the
shaded region.

⮚ The shaded region represents the

solution sets of the linear
inequality.

Steps on How to Graph Linear
Inequality in Two Variables
1. Transform the inequality into the slope-intercept form.
2. Get the slope and y-intercept.
3. Locate the y – intercept in the coordinate plane. From it, plot the other points (at
least two points) using the slope.
4. Connect at least two points to draw a line.
NOTE:
(a) use dashed or broken line when the inequality uses the symbols < and >.
This means that the points on this line are not included in the solution set.
(b) use solid line when the inequality uses the symbols ≥ and ≤. This means
that the points on this line are part of the solution set.
16
5. Notice that the line divided the plane into two half planes. To determine which
half-plane will be shaded, take any point (a test point) from the two half planes.
If the point (ordered pair) satisfies the given inequality, shade the half plane
where the point is located.
6. Show the graph of the inequality.
EXAMPLE
#1
STEP 1: Transform the inequality into slope-intercept form.

STEP 3: Locate the y – STEP 4: Connect the two

intercept in the coordinate points by a line. Since the
plane. From it, locate the symbol used is <, then use
other point using the slope. broken line.

18
EXAMPLE

STEP 5: Determine which region or part to be shaded by testing

points below the line or above the line that satisfies the given
inequality.

Therefore,
19
the region or
part to be
shaded is
below the
line.
EXAMPLE
#1

STEP 6: Show the graph of the inequality.

The graph shows that all

the points on the shaded
region are part of the
20
solution set of the given
inequality.

Since it is a broken line,

then the points on this
line are NOT included in
the solution set.

STEP 3: Locate the y – STEP 4: Connect the two

intercept in the coordinate points by a line. Since the
plane. From it, locate the symbol used is ≤, then use

22
EXAMPLE
#2

STEP 5: Determine which region or part to be shaded by testing

points below the line or above the line that satisfies the given
inequality.

Therefore,
23
the region or
part to be
shaded is
below the
line.
EXAMPLE
#2

STEP 6: Show the graph of the inequality.

The graph shows that all

the points on the shaded
region are part of the
24
solution set of the given
inequality.

Since it is a solid line,

then the points on this
line are included in the
solution set.
