 Summary
• Linear Expression (no sign used)
• There is NO equal sign (=), or inequality signs (<, >, ≥, ≤)
• Ex. 9x+y
• Linear Equation (=)
• Only the equal sign (=) is present
• Ex. 9x+y=1
• Linear Inequality (<, >, ≥, ≤)
• Inequality signs (<, >, ≥, ≤)
• Ex. 9x+y<1
 Summary
Linear Inequality in Two Variables
Linear means that the exponent of the each variables (letters) is 1.
Example: x + y > 10
2x -10 < -y
NOT an Example: 𝑥 + 10 2 >𝑦

Inequality means that the Mathematical form includes inequality signs

(<, >, ≥, ≤)
Example: x + y > 10
2x -10 < -y
 Summary
