5.6 Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables Essential Questions: How can you graph a linear inequality in two variables? Learning Targets: I can check solutions of linear inequalities. I can graph linear inequalities in two variables. I can use linear inequalities to solve real-life problems. Linear Inequalities A linear inequality in two variables, 𝑥 and 𝑦, can be written as Where 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑐 are real numbers. In other words, a linear equation where the equal sign is exchanged for an inequality sign. A ___________________________________ of a linear inequality in two variables is an ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦) that makes the inequality true. I can check solutions of linear inequalities. Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality. Example: x y 5; 3, 2 5 x y 7; 2, 2 You try: x y 2; 5, 3 x 2 y 5; 2, 3 5.6 Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables I can graph linear inequalities in two variables. Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables Step 1 Graph the boundary line for the inequality. Use a dashed line for < or >. Use a solid line for or . Step 2 Test a point that is not on the boundary line to determine whether it is a solution of the inequality. Step 3 When a test point is a solution, shade the half-plane that contains the point. When the test point is not a solution, shade the half-plane that does not contain the point. i.e. 𝑦 < 2𝑥 Examples: y 4 y x 1 2x 3 y 6 y 3x 1 x 2y 4 You try: x 1 5.6 Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables I can use linear inequalities to solve real-life problems. Solving Real-Life Problems Example: An online store sells digital cameras and cell phones. The store makes a $100 profit on the sale of each digital camera x and a $50 profit on the sale of each cell phone y. The store wants to make a profit of at least $300 from its sales of digital cameras and cell phones. Write and graph an inequality that represents how many digital cameras and cell phones they must sell. Identify and interpret two solutions of the inequality. You-Try: The inequality 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 ≥ 93 represents the numbers x of multiple choice questions and the numbers y of matching questions you can answer correctly to receive an A on a test. You answer 20 multiple choice questions and 18 matching questions correctly. Did you receive an A on the test? Explain.
