A linear inequality in two variables is an inequality

that can be written in one of the following forms:

𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 < 𝐶
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 > 𝐶
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 ≤ 𝐶
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐶 NEXT

Where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not

both equal to zero

linear inequalities
The situation can be
modeled by the linear
Examples 1 inequality 𝑥 + 5𝑦 >
150 , where 𝑥 is the
number of 1 –peso
coins and 𝑦 is the
number of 5-peso coins.

2x + y ≤ 980,
where 𝑥 is the cost of
each blouse and 𝑦 is
the cost of a pair of
pants.

 An ordered pair (x, y) is a solution of a linear inequality if the
inequality is true when the values of x and y are substituted into the
inequality.

(4, -1) 2(4) + 3(-1) = 5 ≥ 5 (4, -1) is a solution.

 The graph of a linear
inequality in two variables
is the set of all points in the
rectangular coordinates
system whose ordered
pairs satisfy the inequality.
When a line is graphed in
the coordinate plane, it
separates the plane into
two regions called half
planes. The line that
separates the plane is
called the plane divider.
