SOLVING LINEAR INEQUALITY SYSTEM

USING GRAPHICAL METHOD


The graph of an Inequality

❑ Use dashed line (----- ) for > or < sign and solid line ( )
for ≤ 𝑜𝑟 ≥
❑ Test one point in each region formed by the graph of
inequalities
❑ A shaded region must satisfies that inequalities given
Sketch the graph of each linear inequality

Hot Tips !!

☞ For the straight line equation :


y ,  above the line.
y ,  below the line

note : y must LHS and coefficient of y must be positive

x ,  right
x ,  left

note : x must LHS and coefficient of x must be positive


Example
Graph the system of inequalities given below and shade the feasible region.
y + 2x  8

3 y + x  2
2y − 2x  5

Solution
Example
Graph the system of inequalities given below and shade the feasible region.

x  20
y  x


x + y  80
x  3 y
