GRAPHICAL SOLUTION OF A SYSTEM

OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES IN TWO

VARIABLES
 Steps in solving system of linear inequalities by graphing:

1. Solve the inequality for y, follow the slope – intercept form (y = mx

+ b)

2. Treat the inequality as a linear equation and graph the line as

either a solid line or a dashed line depending on the inequality sign.

 If the inequality sign is (< or >), draw a dashed line.

 If the inequality sign is (≤ or ≥) , draw a solid line.

3. Shade the region that satisfy both
inequalities.

4.Repeat steps 1 – 3 for each

inequality
5. The solution set will be
the overlapping region of
all the inequalities
