Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables
Inequalities in two variables are similar to linear equations in two variables.
Find solutions and graph them in a similar manner.
Example: Find solutions for x ? 3y < 6
** To find solutions, we need to find (x, y) pairs that make the inequality true. **
Substitute the x, y values into the inequality; if we get a true statement, then we have found a solution
Which of the ordered pairs below are solutions to x ? 3y < 6? _______________
a) (0,0)
b) (6, -1)
c) (10, 2)
d) (-1, 2)
Graphing Linear Equations in One and Two Variables
Graphing a Linear Equation in Two Variables: 1) Graph the boundary line (graph the line as if it were an equation).
Use a solid line if or ; use a dashed line for or (similar to open and closed circles when graphing inequalities on number lines).
2) Pick a test point.
Decide whether the test point is a solution to the inequality. A good test point to try, if it is not on the line, is (0,0). TEST POINT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE LINE.
3) Shade the half-plane that is the solution.
If the test point is in the solution, then shade half-plane containing the point. If the test point is NOT in the solution, then shade the half-plane that does NOT contain it.
Examples:
a) Graph y > 4x ? 3
1) Graph the equation y = 4x ? 3. Use a ______________ line.
2) Test (0, 0). Is it a solution to y > 4x ? 3?
b) Graph: 2x - y 8
0 > 40 ? 3 0 > -3
3) Shade half-plane that contains (0,0).
Algebra 1 Notes SOL A.5 Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables
Graph inequalities in one variable using the same process:
Graph y -3 1) Graph y = -3; use
solid line
2) Test a point.
3) Shade area with point if it is a solution; otherwise shade other area.
Graph x < -1
1) Graph x = -1; use dashed line.
2) Test a point.
3) Shade area with point if it is a solution; otherwise shade other area.

Alternative Method to Determine Where to Shade
Example: Graph 4x + 2y > 6
1) Re-write the inequality to isolate y (function form), remembering that multiplying by a negative or positive number reverses the inequality symbol!
2) If you have y < or y , shade BELOW the line.
3) If you have y > or y , shade ABOVE the line.
4) Note: when looking at vertical lines (e.g. x < -1), shade to the left if or ; shade to the right if or .
Try all the examples in these notes using this method.
Writing Inequalities from Graphs:
Write an inequality for the graph at right:
1) Find the slope and y-intercept; write the equation.

2) Dashed or solid? _________________________
3) Above or below? __________________________
4) Write inequality ________________________________
You try: Graph the inequalities
a) x + 3y -1
b) x + 2y 0
c) y 1
