LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLE
It is like a statement that describes a region on
a graph.
It uses two variables, usually x and y and looks
like this : Ax + By < C or Ax + By ≤ C
Solve the inequality x + y 4
1.Rewriting it in slope-intercept form (y = mx + c)
2.Find the y-intercept (set x = 0)
y = -(0)+4, y = 4 point ; (0,4)
3.Find the x-intercept (set y = 0)
(0) = -x + 4, x = 4 point ; (4,0)
4.Plot the points (0,4) and (4,0) and draw a
dashed line between them
Since the inequality is y -x + 4 you will shade
above the line.
This represents all the points where the sum of x
and y is greater than or equal to 4

SIMPLE BREAKDOWN
1 .Variables : x and y are
the things we’re
working with
2 .Constants : A,B,C are
just numbers
3 .Inequality sign : The
symbol (<, ,> or )
tells you whether the
solutions include the
line (solid line) or not
(dashed line).
