About the Activity
Graphical Solutions for inequalities in Two Variables: This will help you learn how to obtain graphical solutions for inequalities in two variables.
Instructions for Student
- Read the introductory slide and solve the four different kinds of inequalities to get a firm grasp of the concepts of inequalities.
Knowledge Assumptions:
- Graph lines in two variables of the form ax+by=c
- Compute x and y intercepts of a line of the form ax+by=c
- Have a text book to refer to

Graphical Solutions for Inequalities in Two variables
Screen 1Title: Graphical Solutions for Inequalities in Two Variables. The Shaded area in the plots represents the solution area for the inequalities. Read the table given below to get a better understanding.
Inequality type | ax+by | ax+by>c | ax+by≤c | ax+by≥c |
Line Type | Dotted Line | Dotted Line | Solid Line | Solid Line |
Area To be shaded | Lower Half Plane | Upper Half Plane | Lower Half Plane | Upper Half Plane |
Shown below pictures above show two examples of plots of inequalities in two variables
