which are not on the
line?
Graph of Linear
Inequality in Two
Variables
Graph of Linear Inequality in Two Variables
• The graph of a linear inequality in two variables is
the set of all points in the rectangular coordinate
system whose ordered pairs satisfy the
inequality.
• When a line is graphed in the coordinate plane, it
separates the plane onto two regions called half-
planes.
• The line that separates the plane is called the
plane divider.

Linear inequality in two variables can also be
written in slope-intercept form as the following:
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Steps in Graphing Linear Inequality in Two
Variables
Step 1: Replace the inequality symbol with an
equal sign. The resulting equation becomes the
plane divider.

Steps in Graphing Linear Inequality in Two Variables
Step 2: Graph the resulting equation.

If the original inequality contains ≤ or ≥, use a
solid line. The solid line indicates that all points on
the line are part of the solution of the inequality.
If the original inequality contains < or >, use a
dash or broken line. It indicates that all points on the
line are not part of the solution of the inequality.

difference in the heights of Jj and Jingrick? Define the
variables used.
b. Based on the mathematical statement you have given,
who is taller? Why?
c. Suppose Jj’s height is 5ft and 3 in., what could be the
height of Jingrick in inches?
Answers:
a. Let x be Jj’s height and y be Jingrick’s height.
b. Any of the two can be taller.

Answers:
c. To solve, convert Jj’s height into foot and substitute the
answer in the mathematical statement.
5’3” = 5.25 ft
Problem #2
The total amount Jane paid for 5 kilos of
rice and 2 kilos of fish is less than Php 600.
Questions:
a. What mathematical statement represents the total
amount Jane paid? Define the variables.
b. Suppose a kilo of rice costs Php 35, what could be
greatest cost of a kilo of fish to the nearest pesos?
c. Suppose Jane paid more than Php 600 and each kilo of
rice costs Php 34, what could be the least amount she
will pay for 2 kilos of fish to the nearest pesos?
Questions:
a. What mathematical statement represents the total amount Jane
paid? Define the variables.
Answer:
a. Let x be the cost/amount of rice per kilo and
y be the amount of fish per kilo.
Questions:
b. Suppose a kilo of rice costs Php 35, what could be greatest cost
of a kilo of fish to the nearest pesos?
Answer:
b. Substitute the value of x(price of rice per kilo)
Therefore, the greatest cost of a kilo of fish is Php 212.

Questions:
c. Suppose Jane paid more than Php 600 and each kilo of rice costs
Php 34, what could be the least amount she will pay for 2 kilos of
fish to the nearest pesos?
Answer:
Therefore, the least amount she will pay for 2 kilos of fish is
Php 431.

Assessment
Mrs. Roxas gave the cashier Php 300-peso bill for

3 adult's tickets (A) and 4 children’s tickets (C)
that cost more than Php 250. Suppose an adult
ticket costs Php 50, which could be the cost of a
children’s ticket?
a.) Php 20 c.) Php 30

b.) Php 25 d.) Php 40
Assessment
Let A be the cost of adult’s ticket and C be the cost of
children’s ticket.
Mathematical Statement:
Solution: if A = 50
Therefore, the cost of a children’s ticket is Php 30.
