3.3 SYSTEMS OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES Solving Linear Systems of Inequalities by Graphing
Objective • You will graph systems of linear inequalities.
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities • We show the solution to a system of linear inequalities by graphing them. • This process is easier if we put the inequalities into Slope-Intercept Form, y < mx + b.
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities • Graph the line using the y-intercept & slope, • If the inequality is < or >, make the lines dotted, • If the inequality is < or >, make the lines solid.
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities • The solution also includes points not on the line, so you need to shade the region of the graph, • Above the line for ‘y >’ or ‘y ’ • Below the line for ‘y <’ or ‘y ≤’
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities Example: Eq ‘a’: 3x + 4y > - 4 Eq ‘b’: x + 2y < 2 Put each Equation in Slope-Intercept Form. ‘a’: ‘b’:
Eqn ‘a’: dotted shade above Eqn ‘b’: dotted shade below Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities Example, continued: Eqn ‘a’: Eqn ‘b’: Graph each line, make dotted or solid and shade the correct area.
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities Eqn ‘a’: 3x + 4y > - 4
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities Eqn ‘a’: 3x + 4y > - 4 Eqn ‘b’: x + 2y < 2
Solving Systems of Linear Inequalities The place where the two shadings overlap is your solution region. The area between the green arrows is the region of overlap.
Graph a system with an absolute value inequality • Graph the system of inequalities. y ≥ 0 y < |x – 1|
Graph each inequality in the system. • Identify the region that is common to both graphs. It is the region that is shaded darkest.
Graph a system of three or more inequalities y ≤ -x + 2 x ≥ 1 y > -2 • Graph each inequality and identify the region that is shaded darkest.
