Lesson 1. Graphing of System of Linear Equation
Quarter 1
Objectives:
EXPLORE
Let us begin our looking into situation in real life that will require you to make an
options. This will challenge what you know about modeling real life situations using
equations in two variables and your skills in graphing linear equations in two variables.
Guide Questions
5
1. How do you determine the most favorable option?
2. How would you determine your options given certain restrictions?
Do you find the activity easy? Do you have any idea on what will be the topic you are going to
learn? If yes, then you are not going have a difficult time in understanding the topic in this
module. So, are you now ready to start the lesson?
From the activity that you have done, have you seen how linear inequalities in two
variables are illustrated in real life?
Based on Activity 1, your answers may vary and it depends on your actual
experiences. For example, if you have to buy 10 pieces of colored paper which cost 3
pesos per piece and the estimated cost maybe more than or less than 30 pesos since you
don’t know yet the price of the materials. From that situation given, you already apply
inequalities (“more than” or “less than”).
Example 1:
Suppose you only have 250 pesos left and you need to buy 1 set of acrylic paint
and 3 paint brushes. What mathematical statement would represent the total cost of the
two materials?
The appropriate inequality model will be lesser than or equal ( ≤) because you
need to buy the two items that must not exceed to 250 pesos.
x + 3y ≤ 250 is the mathematical representation of the total cost of the two items.
Example 2:
Saitama bought 5 pencils and 20 sign pens. The total amount he paid was at most
Php250. If x represents the cost of pencils and y the cost of sign pens, what will be the
mathematical statements to represent the given situation?
In the problem presented above the two variables are cost of pencil (x) and the
cost of sign pen (y).
6
5 (cost of pencil) + 20 ( cost of sign pen) ≤ 250
or
5x + 20y ≤ 250.
Set A Set B
y = 5x - 1 y > 5x - 1 2x + y < 4
2x + y = 4
9 + 5y = 3x 9 + 5y ≥ 3x
y = 2x - 6 5y – 10 = 2x y ≤ 2x - 6 5y – 10 < 2x
Process Questions:
1. Describe the mathematical statements in each set.
2. Differentiate 5x - 1 from y = 5x – 1. How about 5y – 10 and 5y – 10 = 2x?
3. Differentiate mathematical expressions from mathematical equations.
4. Which of the given sets is the set of mathematical equations? How about
the set of inequalities?
5. Differentiate mathematical equations from inequalities
Systems of Linear Equations are one of the useful mathematical tools to model
situations in real life.
The succeeding activities will help you build up your knowledge and skill and deepen
your understanding of the system of linear equations and help you answer the question.
How do you determine the most favorable option?
Were you able to differentiate between mathematical expressions and mathematical equations?
How about mathematical equations and inequalities? In the next activity, you will identify real-
life situations involving linear inequalities.

Directions: Identify the situations which illustrate inequalities. Then write the
inequality model in the appropriate column. Answer the question that follows. Number
one is done for you.

or Not)
1. The price of the ticket of a movie (m) is more than EXAMPLE: EXAMPLE:
the value of a rented DVD copy (c). Inequality m>c
2. According to the survey, there are more Android (A)
users than Apple (I) users.
3. The number of sunflowers (s) in the garden is one
more than twice the number of roses (r).
4. The classroom has a maximum capacity (c) of 35
persons.
5. According to research, an average adult generates
about 4 kg of waste daily (w).
6. To be an honor student in school, a student must
have a grade (g) of at least 90.
7. The yearly budget of Jose (J) is less than the yearly
budget of Gian (G).
8. Seven times the number of male students (m) is the
number of female students (f) in a classroom.
9. The budget for “baon” (b) is greater than the budget
for school supplies (s).
10. The total population (p) of Region X is about 4, 600,
000.
A linear inequality in two variables like Ax + By > C is an ordered pair (x,y) that
produces a true statement when the values of x and y are substitute into the inequality.
Inequalities can be mapped on a number line or a coordinate plane. When
graphed on a coordinate plane, the full range of possible solutions is represented as a
shaded area on the plane.
Linear inequalities differ from linear equation, instead of using equal sign linear
inequalities uses <, >, ≤ ,∧≥ .

Solutions:
Were you able to draw and describe the graphs of linear equations in two variables?
In the next task, you will identify the different points and their coordinates on the
Cartesian plane. These are some of the skills you need to understand linear inequalities
in two variables and their graphs.
Process Questions:
1. Name 5 points on the line y= x+2. Example: (0,2)
2. Name 5 points not on the line y=x+2. Example: (3,1)
3. What mathematical statement would describe all the points on the line y=x+2?
How about all the points on the right side of the line y=x+2?
In the previous activity, you have recalled on how to graph linear equation in two
variables. In your previous topic, you also learned that if the slope m is positive the
graph rises and if negative it falls and so with linear inequalities in two variables. While
in activity 2 you learned that the points lie on the graph or line is the solutions of the
linear equation given which is y = x + 2 and those which are not on the line is not the
solutions.
Before you will proceed to the next there are some important notes that you will
remember.
10
You can see that y = x + 2 line, and the shaded region is where y is less than or
equal to x + 2. A linear inequality is like a linear equation (such as y = 2x + 1), but it will
have an inequality like <,>,≤, or ≥ instead of an =.
Here are the important keys on how to graph linear Inequalities in two variables:
1. Rearrange the equation so “y” is on the left and everything else on the right.
2. Plot the “y=” line (by using tabular method or y=mx + b method). Make it a solid line
for “y ≤”, and “y ≥” , then broken or dashed line for “y <” and “y >”.
3. Shade above the line for a “greater than”(y> or y≥), while shade below the line for a
“less than” (y< or y ≤). The shaded area indicate all the solution set in a given linear
inequalities.
Example1. y ≤2x -1

The word “difference” emphasize the operation subtraction (-). While the phrase “is
not less than” means it is more than or equal ( ). if we write that in mathematical
representation that is:
“p - q 30” .
Example 2: “The difference between the weight of Diana (d) and Princess (p) is at
least 26.”
The word “difference” means subtraction (-). While the phrase “is at least” means “≥”.
If we write that in mathematical representation that is : “d – p ≥ 26”.
Example 3: “The sum of twenty-peso bills (t) and fifty peso bills (f) is greater than
Php 420.”
The word “sum” means addition (+). While the phrase “greater than” is the symbol “>”.
If we write that in mathematical representation that is: “20t + 50f > 420”

Guide Questions
Do you find the activity easy? Do you have any idea on what will be the topic you are going to
learn? If yes, then you are not going have a difficult time in understanding the topic in this
module. So, are you now ready to start the lesson?
Have you ever asked yourself how the steepness of a mountain affects the speed
of a mountaineer? How family’s power consumption affects the amount of the electric
bill? How is dog’s weight affected by its food consumption? How is the revenue of the
company related to the number of items produced and sold? How is the grade of a
student affected by the number of hours spent in studying?
A lot of questions may arise as you go along but in due course, you will focus on
the question: “How can the value of a quantity given the rate of change be predicted?”. This
module will help develop your skills and comprehension in analyzing how things are
related with each other.
Given two sets, a relation is a pairing between the elements of the two sets. The first set
is called the domain of the relation and the second set is called the range of the
relation.

Domain and
Range is the of
The Domain of a function set of allavalues of x for which the function is defined.
Function
The variable x is often referred to as the Independent Variable. It may also be thought
of as the “input” value for the function.
The Range of a function is the set for all values of y determined by x for which the
function is defined. The variable y is often referred to as the Dependent variable. It
may also be thought of as a “Output” value of the function.
To visualize how function work, imagine inputting an x to a certain machine and the
machine operates to produce an output of y.
x F(x) y
Domain Range
The following are two important things to remember when determining the domain of
a function:
1. If the function has a denominator, the denominator should not be equal to zero.
2. If the function involves a square root, the value inside the square root sign must
be nonnegative.
Example 3:
Find the Domain and range of each function.
28
1
1. Y =
x
2. Y = √ x
1
3. Y = x−2
Solutions:
1
a. Y =
x
The domain of the function is the set of all real numbers except 0, because the
function is undefined at x=0. You can write it in interval notation (-∞, 0) U (0. +∞).
The range is the number set of all real numbers except 0. You can write (-∞, 0) U
(0. +∞).
b. Y = √ x
The domain is the set of nonnegative numbers, which is equivalent to the set
containing zero and all positive numbers, in interval notation, it is written as (0.
+∞). The range can be obtained using the graph of a function.
Notice from the graph that the value of y ranges from zero to positive infinity.
Therefore, the range is given by the interval (0. +∞).
c. To find the domain, you must find all the possible values of x which the function
is defined. Note that the value of x cannot be equal to 2 because the fraction will
become undefined. Therefore, the domain of the function is the set of all real
numbers except 2. In interval notation, the domain (-∞, 2) U (2, +∞).
To find the range, solve for the resulting function when x and y are interchanged.
Study the steps shown below.

Y= x−2 x= y−2
29
x 1

1 y−2

y-2 ¿ x
1
y ¿x + 2
The domain of this new function is the range of the original function. Notice that the
value of x cannot be equal to zero. Therefore, the range of the original function is the
set of all real numbers except zero.
Linear Function
A linear function can be written in the form y=f(x) = mx+ b, where x is the independent
variable and y is the dependent variable.
In a linear function, the value of y change by a constant value. In other words, a linear
function has a constant slope. Note however that not all straight lines are linear
functions. A vertical line is not a linear function.
Example 4:
Determine whether each function defined by the given table of values is linear or not.
a.
X 2 3 4 5 6
Y 4 9 16 25 36
Solution:
It is not a linear function. While the value of x changes by the constant value, the change
in the value of y is not constant.
Example 5:
X -2 -1 0 1 2
Y -8 -5 -2 1 4
Solution:
It is a linear function. The x and y change by a constant value.

Domain and Range of a Linear Function

Example 6:
A burger joint spends ₧15,000.00 on burger patties and buns every day and ₧2,000.00
for other daily operating expenses. Each burger costs ₧35.00. The amount collected after
the operating expenses have been deducted is the total daily sales.
a. Let x be the number sold per day. Express the total daily sales as a function of x.
b. Find the domain and the range for the function in a. Assume that the number of
burgers is limitless.
32
c. Find the total daily sales if the burger joint was able to sell 150 burgers on a
particular day.
d. At least how many burgers must be sold in a day so that the burger joint will
earn a profit of at least ₧4,000.00 per day? Note that the profit is the amount
collected after all the expenses have been deducted from the total daily sales.
Solutions:
a. F(x) = 35x – 2000
b. The lowest number of burgers that can be sold is 0. Moreover, the value of x
should be nonnegative. Thus, the domain is (0, +∞).
When x is zero (0), f(x) = 35(0)-2000
F(x) = 0-0000
F(x) = -2,000.00
c. To find the total daily sales for selling 150 burgers, substitute 150 to the linear
function.
F(x) = 35x – 2000
F(150) = 35(150) – 2000
F(150) = 5,250-2000
F(150) = 3,250.00
a. The profit can be computed by subtracting all expenses from the total daily sales.
This means that you must subtract the operating expenses and the cost of the
burger patties and buns. If the target profit is ₧4,000.00, you can compute for the
number of burgers as follows.
4,000 =35x – 2000-15000
4,000 = 35x-17000
4000+17000= 35x
21 000 = 35x
600 = x
Therefore, the burger joint needs at least 600 pieces if burgers to earn a profit of at least
₧4,000.00

The following notation is used for if-then statements: p q. This is read as “If p,
then q”, or “p implies q”.
The hypothesis is “the addends are 4 and 8.” The conclusion is “the sum is 12.”
Example 1:
Solutions:
a. Hypothesis: x-52 =40
Conclusion: x=92
Sometimes logic statements are declarative form. You can write these statements in if-
then form by identifying first the subject and predicate of the sentence. From the
subject, you formulate the hypothesis for the if – clause. From the predicate, you
formulate the condition for the then -clause.
Consider the statement below.
Perpendicular lines form right angles.
Subject Predicate
From the subject, you can formulate the hypothesis. The lines are perpendicular. From
the predicate, you can formulate the conclusion. The lines form right angles.
Hence, the corresponding conditional statement is “if the lines are perpendicular, then form
right angles.”
Example 2:
Write each statement in if-then form.
a. A multiple of 15 is divisible by 3.
b. Vincent will wear a blue shirt if Dara wears a green shirt.
Solutions:
a. The hypothesis is “The number is a multiple of 15.”
The conclusion is “It is divisible by 3.
The if-then statement is “if the number is a multiple of 15, then it is divisible by 3.”
b. The if-clause is already given. The conclusion part can be derived from the
remaining clause, “Vincent will wear a blue shirt”. Therefore, the if-then statement
is “If Emman wears a green shirt, then Vincent will wear a blue shirt.”
You gave your initial ideas on how to make conclusions based on given
situations. If you move further, the things that you will learn will enable you
36
to do the final project which involves mathematical investigation.
Negation is the opposite of a statement.
Every mathematical statement has a truth value. This means that a statement is either
true or False. Usually, T is used to denote true while F is used to denote false.
The truth value of a negation is, therefore, the opposite of the truth value of the original
statement. The negation is usually formed by using the word “not”, depending on the
context. For statement p, is negation is denoted by ~p. This is read as “not p”.
Example 1.
Write the negation of each statement
a. The apple on the table is red.
b. The number is greater than 10.
Solutions:
a. The apple on the table is not red.
b. The number is not greater than 10.
You can also state this as “ The number is less than or equal to 10.”

Converse: if a number is an even number, then it is divisible by 4.
Inverse: if a number is not divisible by 4, then it is not an even number.
Contrapositive: if a number is not an even number, then it is not divisible by 4.
Now you can determine the truth values of these statements. Assume that the
hypothesis is true, and then find out if the conclusion is true.

Lesson 4
Quarter 2 Mathematical Reasoning
Objectives:
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning.
2. Use inductive or deductive reasoning in an argument
3. Distinguish between a direct and indirect proof
4. Write a direct and an indirect proof.
Example 1.
Describe the pattern in the sequence. Then determine the next number in the
sequence.
a. 3,6,9,12, …
b. 5,15,45,135, …
Solutions:
a. To get the second term in the sequence, add 3 to the first term; that is, 3+3 =6.
41
To get the third term, add 3 to the second term; that is 6+3 =9.
To get the fourth term, add 3 to third term; that is, 9+3 = 12.
The pattern is to add 3 to the previous term to get the current term.
Therefore, the next term is 12 + 3 =15.
Consider the given information. What conjecture can you make about sum of the first n
positive odd numbers?
Inductive Reasoning is the process of observing data, recognizing patterns, and making
generalizations or conjectures about those patterns. It is kind of reasoning that forms
general rules from specific examples.
In example 1, inductive reasoning was used. Note that the conjectures formed through
induction may or not be true. It is possible that the conjecture is true for some cases
only.
This statement seems to be true because 1 2 ≥ 1, 22 ≥ 2, and 32 ≥ 3 are all true. However, it
says that x can be any real number, not just integers. Consider x = 0.5. This gives (0.5) 2 ≥
0.5 or 0.25 ≥ 0.5, which is false. In fact, all numbers between -1 and 1 are
counterexamples to the conjecture.
It is for this reason that inductive reasoning alone is not accepted as a valid logical
argument. However, inductive reasoning is still a valuable tool in mathematics. In fact,
in many cases, it is through inductive reasoning that many mathematical properties
were discovered.

b. To get a driver’s license in the Philippines, one must be at least 17 years old must
have passed the written and practical exams, among other things. Eugene has his
Philippines driver’s license.
Solutions:
a. Socrates is a “specific example of a human being”. Therefore, Socrates
must posses the accepted characteristics of all humans; they are
mortal. Hence, you can conclude that Socrates is mortal.
b. Eugene passed the written and practical exams. Also, Eugene is at
least 17 years old.
Example 3:
Identify the kind of reasoning used in each scenario.
a. Carol had corned beef for lunch for the last 4 days. Therefore, Carol
will have corned beef for lunch today.
b. Aisa buys only green bags. She bought a new bag yesterday.
Therefore, that bag must be green.
Solutions:
Inductive Reasoning
Deductive Reasoning
Mathematical proofs lie at the foundations of mathematics. The truth of each claim or
conjecture must be proven first before it can be accepted as a “GENERAL TRUTH” . A
conclusion or conjecture may be proven directly or indirectly.
DIRECT Proof is an argument that employs deductive reasoning. You begin with the
given information or premises that are assumed to be true, and from there, take logical
steps towards establishing the conclusion by applying postulates, theorems, or
definitions.
INDIRECT Proof involves assuming that the negation of the conclusion is true. If the
succeeding deductive arguments lead to a contradiction, then the original statement is
proven to be true.
