A linear inequalities in two variables can be
written in one of four (4) forms:
𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 > 𝑪 𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 ≥ 𝑪
𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 < 𝑪 𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 ≤ 𝑪
where A, B and C are real numbers, and b.
 Linear Inequalities in Two

Note that these forms can also be written in
slope-intercept form of linear inequality as
the following: 𝒚 ≥ 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃
𝒚 >𝒎𝒙 +𝒃
𝒚 <𝒎𝒙 +𝒃 𝒚 ≤ 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃
where is the slope and is the y-

Linear Inequality
 Graphing Linear
Inequalities in Two
Variables
Steps:

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 using the slope.

4. Connect at least two points to draw a line.

 Graphing Linear
Inequalities in Two
Variables
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.
5. Notice that the line divided by the plane into two. To
determine which half-plane will be shaded, take any point from
the half-plane.
6. Show the graph of the inequality.
