Lesson 6.7 – Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables Linear Inequality in Two Variables
The solution is an ordered pair that produces a true statement when substituted into the inequality.
Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of Test

Graph of an Inequality in Two Variables is the set of points that represents all the solutions of the inequality.
Boundary line is the line that divides the coordinate plane into two half planes. Only one half-plane contains the points that represent the solutions of the inequality.
Graphing a linear inequality in two variables 1) Graph the boundary line Use a dashed line for Use a solid line for
or or
2) Test a point not on the boundary line by checking whether or not the ordered pair is a solution to the inequality. 3) Shade the half-plane containing the point if the ordered pair is a solution. Shade the other half-plane if the ordered pair is not a solution.
Graph the linear inequality in two variables
Linear inequality in one variable If an inequality has only the variable , substitute the -coordinate of the test point into the inequality. If an inequality has only the inequality.
Graph a linear inequality in one variable
variable, substitute the -coordinate of the test point into the
