  1. When a problem uses phrases like “greater than” or “no more than,” you can model the situation using a system of linear inequalities. A system of linear inequalities is a set of two or more linear inequalities with the same variables. The solution to a system of inequalities is often an infinite set of points that can be represented graphically by shading. When you graph multiple inequalities on the same graph, the region where the shadings overlap is the solution region.

  2. y < – 3 y ≥–x + 2 For y < – 3, graph the dashed boundary line y =– 3, and shade below it. Example 1A: Graphing Systems of Inequalities Graph the system of inequalities. For y ≥ –x + 2, graph the solid boundary line y = –x + 2, and shade above it. The overlapping region is the solution region.

  3. Example 1B: Graphing Systems of Inequalities Graph each system of inequalities. y < –3x + 2 y ≥ –1 For y < –3x + 2, graph the dashed boundary line y =–3x + 2, and shade below it. For y ≥–1, graph the solid boundary line y =–1, and shade above it.

  4. Ex 2: Lauren wants to paint no more than 70 plates for the art show. It costs her at least $50 plus $2 per item to produce red plates and $3 per item to produce gold plates. She wants to spend no more than $215. Write and graph a system of inequalities that can be used to determine the number of each plate that Lauren can make. Let x represent the number of red plates, and let y represent the number of gold plates. The total number of plates Lauren is willing to paint can be modeled by the inequality x + y ≤ 70. The amount of money that Lauren is willing to spend can be modeled by 50 + 2x + 3y ≤ 215. x 0 y 0 The system of inequalities is x + y ≤ 70 50 + 2x + 3y ≤ 215

  5. Graph the solid boundary line x + y = 70, and shade below it. Graph the solid boundary line 50 + 2x + 3y ≤ 215, and shade below it. The overlapping region is the solution region.

  6. Graph the system of inequalities, and classify the figure created by the solution region. Ex 3: x ≥ –2 x ≤ 3 y ≥ –x + 1 y ≤ 4 Graph the solid boundary line x = –2 and shade to the right of it. Graph the solid boundary line x = 3, and shade to the left of it. Graph the solid boundary line y = –x + 1, and shade above it. Graph the solid boundary line y = 4, and shade below it. The overlapping region is the solution region.
