Graphing Linear

Inequalities in Two
Variables
Are you fond of making bracelets made of beads? Creating colorful bracelets out of
beads is a relaxing hobby to have since it allows you to be creative.
Let us say that you are shopping for beads to make bracelets as a business. You
noticed that a pack of pink beads costs ₱10, and a pack of black beads costs ₱8. You
only have ₱300, and you do not want to spend all your money on beads. How many
packs of pink and black beads can you buy so that you will not go over your budget?
In the previous lesson, you have learned that situations such as this can be illustrated
using linear inequality in two variables. You may have also realized that there are
different possible solutions to a linear inequality in two variables. How can you
illustrate all possible solutions to the inequality? To do this, you can graph the linear
inequality.

In this lesson, you will learn how to graph linear inequalities in two variables.
● How will you graph a linear inequality in two
variables?

● How will you graph the solution set of a word problem


involving linear inequalities in two variables?
GRAPH OF A LINEAR INEQUALITY IN TWO
VARIABLES
This consists of all points on the Cartesian plane that
satisfies the linear inequality and a boundary line that
separates the solution points from nonsolution points.

The graph of a linear inequality in two variables is a half-


plane. This plane consists of all points that satisfy the
linear inequality in two variables.

of the inequality.
BOUNDARY LINE
This separates the solution points and the nonsolution
points in a graph of a linear inequality in two variables.

A boundary line is dashed if the points that lie of the line


are not part of the solution set. Dashed lines are used if
the inequality is or .
BOUNDARY LINE
This separates the solution points and the nonsolution
points in a graph of a linear inequality in two variables.

A boundary line is solid if the points that lie on the line


are part of the solution set. Solid lines are used if the
inequality is or .

TEST POINT
This refers to any point on the Cartesian plane that is
used to test if a given inequality holds true.

For convenience, the point is used as a test point unless
