internet, or doing household chores?
 What is linear Inequality?

 an inequality in which each side is a polynomial of degree 1 or

constant.
 A linear inequality in x and y can be written in one of the following
forms;

Where A, B and C are real numbers and A & B are both not equal to 0.
 Example(s)

1. 2.

3. 4.

The solutions of linear Inequalities can be expressed in ordered pairs (x, y).
 An ordered pair (x,y) is a solution if it satisfies the linear inequality.
 Directions: Supply each phrase with the most appropriate
word.

A linear inequality in two variables is an
inequality that 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 both not equal to zero.
EXAMPLE A B C
Inequality
Where A, B, & C 4x–3y >1 symbol
are real numbers
and A & B are TWO
both not equal to VARIABLES
zero.
EXAMPLE A B C
Inequality
Where A, B, & C 3x–5y ≤9 symbol
