5. Less talk, more _________________
The table below will be helpful in comparing and differentiating linear equations and linear inequalities in two variables.
The graph of a linear inequality in two variables is the set of all points in the rectangular coordinate system whose
orderedpairs satisfy the inequality. When a line is graphed in the coordinate plane, it separates the plane into two regions
called halfplanes. The line that separates the plane is called the plane divider.
To graph an inequality in two variables, the following steps could be followed.
1. Replace the inequality symbol with an equal sign. The resulting equation becomes the plane divider
Examples:
A. y > x + 4 y = x + 4
B. y < x – 2 y = x – 2
C. y ≥ - x + 3 y = - x + 3
D. y ≤ -x - 5 y = -x – 5
2. Graph the resulting equation with a solid line if the original inequality contains ≤ or ≥ symbol. The solid line indicates that
all points on the line are part of the solution of the inequality. If the inequality contains < or > symbol, use a dash or a
broken line. The dash or broken line indicates that the coordinates of all points onthe line are not part of the solution set of
the inequality.
3. Choose three points in one of the half- planes that are not on the line. Substitute the coordinates of these points into the
inequality. If the coordinates of these points satisfy the inequality or make the inequality true, shade the half-plane or the
region on one side of the plane divider where these points lie. Otherwise, the other side of the plane divider will be shaded.
