Mathematics Concepts

A. Graphical Method – a method of finding the solution(s) of a system of linear

equations or inequalities by graphing.

B. Linear Inequality – an inequality in which each side is a polynomial of degree

1 or constant.

C. Test Points – a linear inequality may also be graphed by graphing the

corresponding line and then testing a point to determine which region satisfies

the inequality.

Teacher’s Activity
A. Daily Routine
1. Prayer
Good morning class. Before we start
may we all stand up and pray. (The teacher
will pray).
2. Cleaning
Okay class, before you sit down
please pick up pieces of paper and trash.
3. Greeting
Good morning once again class.
So how are you doing today?
Well, good then.
4. Checking of Attendance
Are there any absents today?
Very Good!

1. Recall
Before we begin to our lesson, let us
have a recap on your past lesson. So, who
can still recall your past lesson?
So, let’s hear student A.
Very good!
So last time you studied about solving
problems involving linear inequalities in two
variables. Who can still remember on how to
solve problems involving linear inequalities in
two variables?
Let’s call for student B.

1. Recall
(The students will raise their hands)
The past lesson was about the solving
problems involving linear inequalities in two
variables.
(The students will raise their hands)
In solving problems involving linear
inequalities in two variables first you must
identify the linear inequalities in the given
problem. Then you will graph it in the
Cartesian coordinate system and apply the
test point method to determine the half-plane

Very good student B.

solution of the linear inequality.
(The students will raise their hands).
First Step: change the inequality
symbol to equal sign “=”, y=x + 4.
Second Step: graph the equation.
Broken line will be used if the inequality
symbol are simply ¿∨¿, and solid line will be
used if the inequality symbol is ≥∨≤ .
Third Step: select at least three test
points on either side of the two half-planes.
( 0,5 ) , (−4,6 ) ,∧( 0,0 ) .
1. ( 0,5 ) y > x+ 4
y > x +4
5>0+ 4
5> 4 True
2. (−4,6 ) y> x + 4
6> x + 4
6>−4+ 4
6> 0True
3. ( 0,0 ) y > x +4
y > x +4
0> 0+4
0> 4 False
Fourth Step: the results show that we
will shade on the region where the test points
are true.

Did you bring your math tools? Yes Sir.
Very good! You will group yourselves (The students will group themselves)
consisting of five members. Now, that you
have grouped yourselves, I will give you two
linear inequalities in two variables and you
should graph it on one graphing paper.
Show the graph of the solution of the
system { yy>←2x+5

Discuss your observations, findings

and ideas about the given system of linear
inequalities. Write it in a one whole piece of
paper and attached your graphing papers. All
members should participate, okay? And don’t
make loud noises. Yes Sir.
Okay, very well.
(The teacher will roam around the
classroom to ensure that all members
cooperate with one another).

1) How would you describe the
graphs of y > x +5 and y ←2 x −3?
2)How would you describe where the
graph of y > x +5 and y ←2 x −3 meet?
3) Select any three points in the
region where the graphs of y > x +5 and
y ←2 x −3 meet. What statements can you
make about the coordinates of these points?
4) How would you describe the
graphical solution of the system { yy>←2x+5

5) How is the graphical solution of a
system of linear inequalities determined?
6) How is it similar or different from
the graphical solution of a system of linear

1. The half-plane solution of each

inequality overlaps in some portion.
2. It seems that it forms like a
triangular region.
3. We select (−6,1 ) , (−8 ,−2 ) and
(−7,1). Those coordinates satisfy both
equations.
1. (−6,1)
y > x +5 y ←2 x −3
1>−6+5 1<−2 (−6 ) −3
1>−1 True 1<9 True
2. (−8 ,−2)
y > x +5 y ←2 x −3
−2>−8+ 5 −2←2 (−8 )−3
−2>−3 True −2<13 True
3. (−7,1)
y > x +5 y ←2 x −3
1>−7+5 1←2 (−7 )−3
1>−2 True 1<11 True
4. We observed that not all
coordinates which are solution for y > x +5 is
also a solution for y ←2 x −3. But once we
select coordinates where the two half-planes
overlap it satisfy both equations.
5. The graphical solution of a
system of linear inequalities in two variables
