MODULE 1: Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
After going through this module, you are expected to differentiate linear inequalities in two variables from
linear equations in two variables (M8ALIIa-2); and illustrate and graph linear inequalities in two variables.

READING DISCUSSION:
Linear inequalities in two variables are expressions written in the same manner as linear equations replacing the
= sign with either >, <, ≥, or ≤ symbol.
The expression 𝑦≤ 𝑥−2 in two variables has the same form as the linear equation 𝑦=𝑥−2 but uses the inequality
symbol. The solution of a linear inequality in two variables is the set of all ordered pairs (𝑥, 𝑦) that make the
inequality true. You need to plot the set of ordered pairs on a coordinate plane to understand the solution of the
inequality.
When a linear equation 𝑦 = 𝑥−2, the solutions are all
the points on the solid blue line. The 𝑦 value of every
point on the shaded region is less than or equal to 𝑥−2
for every 𝑥.

So, the solution of the inequality 𝑦>2𝑥 + 1 is the set of

all points

region.
A. Sketch the graph of 𝑦 >2𝑥 + 1.
Step 1: Replace > symbol with = sign. This will give the equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥+1.
Step 2: Sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥+1.
B. Sketch the graph of 𝑦 ≤ 𝑥 +3.
Step 1: Replace > symbol with = sign. This will give the equation 𝑦 = 𝑥+3.
Step 2: Sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥+3.

Step 3 and 4: The inequality uses the symbol >, therefore use a dashed line for the boundary line.
Step 5: Use a test point (0,0). Evaluate the inequality using
x=0, and y=0.
Step 3 and 𝑦>2𝑥
4: The+inequality

Step 6: Shade the portion of the graph that does not pass through (0,0).
Step 6: So, shade the portion of the graph that passes through (1,1).

MODULE 2: Problem Solving Involving Systems of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

 After going through this module, you are expected to solve problems involving linear inequalities
in two variables (M8ALIIa-4).

EXAMPLES AND DISCUSSIONS:

Example Problem:
Edrian, a grade 8 student is preparing simple gifts for his classmates for this coming Christmas season. He is
planning to buy at most 40 pieces of black and blue ball pens. Each ball pen costs ₱ 3.00 and ₱ 4.00, respectively. He
has at least ₱ 120.00 savings in his piggy bank.

Solution:
Step #1: Represent the unknowns using the variables x and y since, we are dealing with two variables.
Let x = the number of pieces of black ball pen
y = the number of pieces of blue ball pen
Step#2: Translate the problem into mathematical statements using inequality symbols.
x + y ≤ 40 (inequality 1) → number of pieces of ball pen
3x + 4y ≥ 120(inequality 2) →cost of black and blue ball pens
Step #3: Determine the two distinct points for each inequality by letting x = 0 and y = 0.
Working on the first inequality, we have: if x = 0, y =?

Step #4: Graph the two inequalities;

x + y ≤ 40
3x + 4y ≥ 120

Study the questions and the answers for the example problem above.
1. What mathematical statements represent the given situation?
 Answers:
x + y ≤ 40 → number of pieces of ball pen
3x + 4y ≥ 120 →cost of black and blue ball pens
2. Draw and describe the graphs of the mathematical statements.
Answer:
From the foregoing solutions, we can see that the intersection of graphs of the given system lie on the 1st
and 2nd quadrants of the Cartesian Coordinate Plane.
3. How will you determine the number of pieces he can buy for black and blue ball pens?
Answer:
I can determine the number of pieces of black and blue ball pens by considering ordered pairs that can be
found in the intersection of the two inequalities on the first quadrant since, the negative values of x and y
cannot be considered.
4. From the graphs of the mathematical statements, give three possible numbers of black and blue ball pens that he
can buy. Justify your answers in a tabular form. (5, 30), (10, 25) and (15, 20)
Justification:
x + y ≤ 40 3x + 4y ≥ 120
(5, 30) 5 + 30 ≤ 40 True 3(5) + 4(30) ≥ 120 True
(10, 25) 10 + 25 ≤ 40 True 3(10) + 4(25) ≥ 120 True
(15, 20) 15 + 20 ≤ 40 True 3(15) + 4(20) ≥ 120 True
EXERCISES:
Directions: Read and analyze the problems below and answer the questions that follow. (Write your answers on a
separate sheet of paper or you can use the BACK of your answer sheets).

“tropa”. Each soft drink costs ₱15.00 and ₱25.00, respectively. He has at least ₱200.00 in his pocket to buy the
bottled soft drinks.
