Chapter 4 Section 4 Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
Linear Inequality in Two Variables • Ax + By = C • Straight lines when graphed. • Replace the = symbol with an inequality • Linear Inequality in Two Variables
Examples • x + y > 2 • 5y ≤ 15 • 2x – y > 4
Solution of an inequality • Two variables • Ordered pair of real number that satisfy the inequality • Graph • Region, half plane • Solid line: line is part of the graph • Dashed line: not part of the graph
Solve • Replace the inequality symbol with = • Graph the line • Choose a test point. • True statement, shade that part of the half plane that contains the test point.
Practice • Solve and graph the solution set • 2x – 3y < 6
Graph the solution set • 2x + y > 6 • x ≤ - 4
System of Linear Inequalities • Two or more linear inequalities • Solution • Ordered pair that satisfies each inequality in the system
Graph the solution • Solution • Replace the inequality with = • Graph each line • Lines intersect, so pick a test point in each region.
One more • Graph the solution set
