This document provides instructions on differentiating and graphing linear inequalities in two variables. It defines linear equations and inequalities, and gives examples of each. It explains that a linear inequality can be written in the form Ax + By < C, Ax + By ≤ C, Ax + By > C, or Ax + By ≥ C. The document then provides steps for graphing a linear inequality: 1) rearrange the inequality so y is alone on one side, 2) plot the line and make it solid or dashed based on ≤ or ≥, < or >, and 3) shade above or below the line depending on > or ≥, < or ≤. It includes examples graphing y ≤ 2x - 1 and 2

Learning Competency differentiate linear inequalities in two variables from linear equations in two variables; and illustrate and graph linear inequalities in two variables.
An open sentence that makes use of the symbol “ =” is called an
equation. On the other hand, an open sentence that makes use of any of the relation symbols <,>, ≤, ≥, and ≠ is called an inequality. A linear equation in two variables can be written in the form Ax + By = C where a, b, c are real numbers and has ONLY one solutio n and order pairs. Examples: 1. 2x –y = -1 2. 3y –y = 6 A linear inequality in two variables can be written in one of the following forms: Ax + By < C Ax + By ≤ C Ax + By > C Ax + By ≥ C where A, B and C are real numbers and A and B are not both equal to zero. Examples: 1. 4x + 2y < 8 3. x + 5y ≤ 9 2. 5x – 17 > -2 4. 8x – 3y ≥ 14 How to Graph a Linear Inequality
First, graph the "equals" line, then shade in the correct area. There are three steps:
1. Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right. 2. Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y ≤ or y ≥, and a dashed line for y < or y >) 3. Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y > or y ≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y < or y ≤). Let us try some examples:
Example 1. y ≤ 2x - 1
1. The inequality already has "y" on the left and everything else on the right, so no need to rearrange
2. Plot y = 2x-1 (as a solid line because y ≤ includes equal to)
3. Shade the area below (because y is less than or equal to)
Example 2. 2y − x ≤ 6
1. We will need to rearrange this one so "y" is on its own on the left:
Start with: 2y − x ≤ 6 Add x to both sides: 2y ≤ x + 6 Divide all by 2: y ≤ x/2 + 3 2. Now plot y = x/2 + 3 (as a solid line because y≤ includes equal to)
3. Shade the area below (because y is less than or equal to)
