A linear inequality is similar to a linear equation, but the equal sign is replaced with an inequality symbol. A solution of a linear inequality is any ordered pair that makes the inequality true.
y < 2x + 1 4 2(–2) + 1 4 –4 + 1 4 –3 < I do…. Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality. (–2, 4); y < 2x + 1 (–2, 4) is not a solution.
y > x − 4 1 3 – 4 > 1 – 1 We do…. (3, 1); y > x –4 Substitute (3, 1) for (x, y). (3, 1) is a solution.
1 1 – 7 5 4 + 1 55 < 1–6 > You do… a. (4, 5); y < x + 1 b. (1, 1); y > x – 7 y < x + 1 y > x – 7 (1, 1) is a solution. (4, 5) is not a solution.
We do….. y = mx + b
We do….. y = mx + b
We do….. y = mx + b
A linear inequality describes a region of a coordinate plane called a half-plane. All points in the region are solutions of the linear inequality.
Solve the inequality for y (slope-intercept form). Step 1 Graph the boundary line. Use a solid line for ≤ or ≥. Use a dashed line for < or >. Step 2 Shade the half-plane above the line for y > or ≥. Shade the half-plane below the line for y < or y ≤. Check your answer. Step 3 Graphing Linear Inequalities
Example : Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables y 2x –3 Step 1 The inequality is already solved for y. Step 2 Graph the boundary line y = 2x – 3. Use a solid line for . Step 3 The inequality is , so shade below the line.
Helpful Hint The point (0, 0) is a good test point to use if it does not lie on the boundary line.
Example: Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables 5x + 2y > –8
5x + 2y > -8 Y = mx + b
Check y > x – 4 0(0) – 4 0 –4 0 –4 > Example Continued 5x + 2y > –8 Substitute ( 0, 0) for (x, y).
