• A Linear equation in Two Variables may appear
in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, C are real
numbers, but A and B cannot both be zero.
• The exponent on each variable must be equal to 1
and there should not be a term which contains the
product or quotient of two variables and the
resulting graph is always a straight line.
• The solution of linear equation in two variables is
an ordered pair that when substituted in the
equation for x and y will result in a true statement.
On the other hand, a linear inequality in
two variables can be written in one of
the following forms:

a. 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 > 𝐶 c. 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦
≥𝐶
b. 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 < 𝐶 d. 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦
Example: Tell which of the following is a linear inequality in two
variables. If so, identify the values of A, B, C, if not, state the
reason.
a. 3𝑥 − 𝑦 > 2 Linear inequality in two

b. 2𝑥 − 𝑦 ≤ 4
variables, A = 3, B= -1, C=2
Linear inequality in two

c. 3𝑥2 + 7𝑦 < 2
variables, A = 2, B= -1, C=4
Not linear inequality in two variables. The exponent

d. 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 ≥ 6
of the variables in a linear inequality must be 1.
Linear inequality in two

e. 𝑥 < 5
variables, A = 2, B= 3, C=6
Not linear inequality in two variables. There is only
one variable.
• The solution set of an inequality consists of an
infinite number of ordered pairs.
• An ordered pair (x, y) is a solution of an inequality
in x and y if a true statement results when the
variables in the inequality are replaced by the
coordinates of the ordered pair.

(3, 4) is a solution of 3𝑥 − 𝑦 > 2.

GRAPHING
LINEAR
INEQUALITIES IN
TWO VARIABLES
The graph of a linear inequality
in two variables is the set of all
points in the rectangular HALF-PLANE
coordinate system whose
ordered pairs satisfy the
inequality.
When a line is graphed in the
coordinate plane, it separates
the plane into two regions
HALF-PLANE
called half-planes. The line
that separates the plane is
called the plane divider.
PLANE DIVIDER
STEPS IN GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES

1) Rewrite the linear inequality as an equation and solve for the intercepts.
2) Graph the plane divider of the region.
 If the symbol of inequality is either ≤ or ≥, draw the plane divider as a
solid line ( ). The solid line indicates that all points on the
line are part of the solution of the inequality.
 If the symbol of inequality is either < or >, draw the boundary line as a
broken line ( ). The broken line indicates that the
coordinates of all points on t he line are not part of the solution set of the
inequality.
3) Decide which half plane contains the solution set. Pick a test point that

is on one side of the plane divider. Use (0,0) if possible for easier
computation.
4) If the resulting inequality is true, shade the half plane that contains the
test point. If the resulting inequality is false, shade the other half plane
not containing the test point.
1) Graph y < x – 3
2) Graph 2x + 3y ≥ 6
Try This #2
1) Graph 2x - y ≤ 4

2) Graph y > x + 4
