 Further Examples

Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Example 1: Is (2, −5) a solution of the linear inequality 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 ≥ 7 ?

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution on a given linear inequality, simply substitute the value of
𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 to the given inequality and it must satisfy the given condition.

𝑥 = 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = −5
3𝑥 − 4𝑦 ≥ 7
3(2) − 4(−5) ≥ 7
6 + 20 ≥ 7
26 ≥ 7
The final inequality 26 ≥ 7 is correct.

Therefore, (2, −5) is a solution of the linear inequality 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 ≥ 7.

Example 2: Is (−3, −1) a solution of the linear inequality 𝑥 − 6𝑦 < −2 ?

𝑥 = −3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = −1
𝑥 − 6𝑦 < −2
(−3) − 6(−1) < −2

−3 + 6 < −2
3 < −2
The final inequality 3 < −2 is incorrect.

Therefore, (−3, −1) is not a solution of the linear inequality 𝑥 − 6𝑦 < −2.

Graphing and identifying solution of the linear inequalities in two variables

Inequality Symbol Line to be used
< 𝑜𝑟 > Dashed/Broken line

≤ 𝑜𝑟 ≥ Solid line

Note: In graphing the linear inequality in two variables, you can either use the slope-intercept form or using the
𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑠.

3
Example 3: What is the solution of 2𝑥 − 𝑦 > 4?

Step 1: Graph the boundary line

To draw the boundary, determine the intercepts of 2𝑥 − 𝑦 > 4, which are (2,0) where 𝑎 = 2 and (0, −4) where
𝑏 = −4.

Using the intercepts, we can graph the boundary of the given linear inequalities.

Note: In the given inequality the symbol is greater than (>) which means that the line that we will use for the
boundary is a dashed/broken line.

Step 2: Point test method

Notice that the graph has been divided into two parts/sides (left and right). For us to identify which part of the
graph the solution falls, we have to choose one point on each part/side to check which one will satisfy the given
linear inequality.

Side/Parts Point Inequality Remarks

2𝑥 − 𝑦 > 4
Left (0,0) 2(0) − (0) > 4 False statement
Right (3,0) 2(3) − (0) > 4 True statement
Thus, all the points in the right side/part of the graph are the solution of the linear inequality.

Step 3: Shade the appropriate region

Now that we have the line for our boundary and we know which part/side of the graph is the solution of the
linear inequality, shade that region.

4
Example 4: What is the graph of 3𝑥 + 5𝑦 ≤ −15 ?

Solving for the intercepts, the 𝑥 − 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 = (−5, 0) and the 𝑦 − 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 = (0, −3)

Step 1: Graph the boundary line

Step 2: Point test method

Side/Parts Point Inequality (3𝑥 + 5𝑦 ≤ −15) Remarks

Up (0,0) 3(0) + 5(0) ≤ −15 False statement
Down (0, −4) 3(0) + 5(−4) ≤ −15 True statement
Step 3: Shade the appropriate region

Example 5: Suppose a group of volunteers is raising money for the victim of the previous typhoon. They are
baskets of fruit for 100 Php and boxes of cheese for 250 Php. How many items of each type must
they sell to raise more than 5000 Php?

Let x = number of baskets of fruit

y = number of boxes of cheese

Working Equation: They must raise a fund that is more than 5000 Php.

100𝑥 + 250𝑦 > 5000

Step 1: Graph the boundary line

5
Step 2: Point test method

Side/Parts Point Inequality (100𝑥 + 250𝑦 > 5000) Remarks

Up (0,30) 100(0) + 250(30) > 5000 True statement
Down (0,0) 100(0) + 250(0) > 5000 False statement

Step 3: Shade the appropriate region

Thus, possible solutions are points within the shaded region shown.

Solving System of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Example 1: Is (8,1) a solution of the system of linear inequality 2𝑥 − 𝑦 ≥ 2 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 > 6?

𝑥 = 8 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 1 𝑥 = 8 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 1
2𝑥 − 𝑦 ≥ 2 𝑥+𝑦 >6
2(8) − (1) ≥ 2 (8) + (1) > 6
16 − 1 ≥ 2 9>6
15 ≥ 2
The statement is true. The statement is true.
Thus, (8,1) is a solution of the system of linear inequality.

Example 2: Is (−6,4) a solution of the system of linear inequality 𝑥 − 3𝑦 ≥ 2 and 3𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 4?

𝑥 = −6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 4 𝑥 = −6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 4
𝑥 − 3𝑦 ≥ 2 3𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 4
(−6) − 3(4) ≥ 2 3(−6) + (4) ≤ 4
−6 − 12 ≥ 2 −18 + 4 ≤ 4
−18 ≥ 2 −14 ≤ 4
The statement is false. The statement is true.
Hence, (−6,4) is not a solution of the system of linear in equality.

Graphing And Identifying Solution Of The System Linear Inequalities In Two Variables
Example 3: What is the graph of the system of linear inequality 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 ≥ 12 and 𝑥 − 5𝑦 < 5?
Step 1: Draw the boundary lines
The intercepts of 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 ≥ 12 are (4,0) and(0,6).
The intercepts of 𝑥 − 5𝑦 < 5 are (5,0) and (0, −1).

C B

6
Step 2: Point Test Method
Notice that the given system of linear inequality divides the graph into 4 regions, so to check which region is the
solution of the system of linear inequality we get one point on each region.
Point of the region Inequality Remark
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 ≥ 12 and 𝑥 − 5𝑦 < 5
A - (6, −1) 3(6) + 2(−1) ≥ 12 False
(6) − 5(−1) < 5
B - (5,1) 3(5) + 2(1) ≥ 12 True
(5) − 5(1) < 5
C - (0,0) 3(0) + 2(0) ≥ 12 False
(0) − 5(0) < 5
D - (0, −2) 3(0) + 2(−2) ≥ 12 False
(0) − 5(−2) < 5

Step 3: Shade the appropriate region

Thus, all the ordered pair in B-region are the solution of the given system of linear inequality.

Example 4: John is working as a tutor and as a Zumba instructor. In doing tutorials, he earned 250 Php/hour and
as being a Zumba instructor, he is earning 500 Php/hour. If he works for at most 15 hours per week, find the
possible number of hours John must work to earn at least 4000 Php/week.

Let x = number of hours john is working as a tutor

y = number of hours john is working as a Zumba instructor
Working Equation
Eq. 1: John works for at most 15 hours per week → 𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 15
Eq. 2: John must work to earn at least 4000 Php/week → 250𝑥 + 500𝑦 ≥ 4000

Step 1: Draw the boundaries

The intercepts of 𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 15 are (15,0) and (0,15).
The intercepts of 250𝑥 + 500𝑦 ≥ 4000 are (16,0) and (0,8)

7
 Step 2: Point test method
Point of the region Inequality Remark
𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 15 and 250𝑥 + 500𝑦 ≥ 4000
A - (18, −2) (18) + (−2) ≤ 15 Incorrect
250(18) + 500(−2) ≥ 4000
B - (10,10) (10) + (10) ≤ 15 Incorrect
250(10) + 500(10) ≥ 4000
C - (2,10) (2) + (10) ≤ 15 Correct
250(2) + 500(10) ≥ 4000
D - (0,0) (0) + (0) ≤ 15 Incorrect
250(0) + 500(0) ≥ 4000

Step 3: Shade the appropriate region

Therefore, all the ordered pair on the C-region in quadrant 1 is the solution of the given problem.
