STEPS IN GRAPHING SYSTEMS OF LINEAR

INEQUALITIES IN TWO VARIABLES

1. Rewrite each mathematical statement into slope-intercept
form 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.
2. Graph the system of linear inequalities in two variables in a
Cartesian coordinate plane.
a. Locate the y – intercept or the point (0, b).
b. From the y-intercept, use the value of the slope to locate
another point/s.
c. BROKEN LINE: < or > ; SOLID LINE: ≤ or ≥
d. Shade ABOVE: > or ≥ ; Shade BELOW: < or ≤
3. Observe the shaded regions. The area where the shaded
regions overlapped is where the solutions of the system of
linear inequalities are located. It means that all the points in
that area makes the system of linear inequalities in two
variables true.
