G8 Math Q2 - Week 2 - Solving Linear Inequalities

1. Graph the inequality as a linear equation with a dashed line since it is non-inclusive. Shade above the line since the symbol is >. Pick a test point below the line, like (0,0), and substitute into the inequality to check that it makes a false statement. 2. Graph the inequality as a linear equation with a solid line since it is inclusive. Shade above the line since the symbol is ≥. Pick a test point below the line, like (0,0), and substitute into the inequality to check that it makes a false statement. 3. Graph the inequality as a linear equation with a dashed line since it is non-inclusive. Shade below the line since the symbol is

Solving Linear Inequalities in

Two Variables
Concept: Represent and Solve Systems of Inequalities Graphically

EQ: How do I represent the solutions of an inequality in two


variables? (Standard REI.12)

Vocabulary: Solutions region, Boundary lines (dashed or solid),


Inclusive, Non-inclusive, Half plane, Test Point

Introduction
Solving a linear inequality in two variables is similar to
graphing a linear equation, with a few extra steps that will
be explained on the following slides.

*Remember that inequalities have infinitely many


solutions and all the solutions get represented through the
use of shading.

Key Concepts
• A linear inequality in two variables has a half plane as
the set of solutions.

• A half plane is a region containing all points that has


one boundary, which is a straight line that continues in
both directions infinitely.

2.3.1: Solving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables


Steps to Graphing a Linear Inequality in Two Variables
1. Graph the inequality as a linear equation.
* If the inequality is inclusive (≤ and ≥), use a solid line.
* If the inequality is non-inclusive (< and >), use a dashed line.
2. Shade the half plane above the y-intercept for (> and ≥).
Shade the half plane below the y-intercept for (< and ≤).
3. Check your answer by picking a test point and substituting it
into the inequality:
• A test point in the shaded half plane should give you a true
statement.
• A test point in the non-shaded half plane should give you a
false statement.
Guided Practice - Example 1
Graph the solutions to the following inequality.
Guided Practice: Example 1, continued
1. Graph the inequality as a linear equation.
Since the inequality is non-inclusive, use a
dashed line.
y=x+3

To graph the line, plot the y-intercept first, (0, 3). Then use
the slope to find a second point. The slope is 1. Count up
one unit and to the right one unit and plot a second point.
Connect the two points and extend the line to the edges of
the coordinate plane.
Guided Practice: Example 1, continued
2. Shade the appropriate area.
Since the symbol > is used we will shade above the y-intercept.
Guided Practice: Example 1, continued
3. Pick a test point above or below the line
and substitute the point into the inequality.
Choose (0, 0) because this point is easy to substitute into
the inequality.
y>x+3
(0) > (0) + 3
0 > 3    This is false!

Since the test point makes the inequality false, all points on that side of the line
make the inequality false. Therefore we were correct to shade above the line.
Guided Practice - Example 2
Graph the solutions to the following inequality.
Guided Practice: Example 2, continued
1. Graph the inequality as a linear equation.
Since the inequality is inclusive, use a solid line.

To graph the line, plot the y-intercept first, (0, 2). Then use the
slope to find a second point. The slope is 3.
Count up three units and to the right one unit and plot a second
point.
Connect the two points and extend the line to the edges of the
coordinate plane.
Guided Practice: Example 2, continued
2. Shade
the
appropriat
e area.
Since the
symbol is
used we
will shade
above the y-
intercept.
Guided Practice: Example 2, continued
3. Pick a test point above or below the line
and substitute the point into the inequality.
Choose (0, 0) because this point is easy to substitute into the
inequality.

(0) > 3(0) + 2


0>0+2
0 > 2    This is false!

Since the test point makes the inequality false, all points on that side of the line make
the inequality false. Therefore we were correct to shade above the line
Guided Practice - Example 3
Graph the solutions to the following inequality.
Guided Practice: Example 3, continued
1. Graph the inequality as a linear equation.
Since the inequality is not inclusive, use a
dashed line.

To graph the line, plot the y-intercept first, (0, -1). Then use
the slope to find a second point.
The slope is.
Count down two units and to the right three units and plot a
second point.
Connect the two points and extend the line to the edges of the
coordinate plane.
Guided Practice: Example 3, continued

2. Shade
the
appropriat
e area.
Since the
symbol is
used we
will shade
below the y-
intercept.
Guided Practice: Example 3, continued
3. Pick a test point above or below the line and
substitute the point into the inequality.
Choose (0, 0) because this point is easy to substitute into the
inequality.

(0) (0) - 1
0 0-1
0 -1    This is false!

Since the test point makes the inequality false, all points on that side of the line make the
inequality false. Therefore we were correct to shade below the line
You Try!
Graph the following inequalities:

Solve and graph

1. 2 𝑦 − 3 𝑥> 4
2. 𝑦 +2 𝑥 ≥ 4
