2-5 Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
Holt Algebra 2
Linear functions form the basis of linear inequalities. A linear inequality in two variables relates two variables using an inequality symbol, such as y > 2x – 4. Its graph is a region of the coordinate plane bounded by a line. The line is a boundary line, which divides the coordinate plane into two regions.
For example, the line y = 2x – 4, shown at right, divides the coordinate plane into two parts: one where y > 2x – 4 and one where y < 2x – 4. In the coordinate plane higher points have larger y values, so the region wherey > 2x – 4 is above the boundary line where y = 2x – 4.
Holt Algebra 2
To graph y � 2x – 4, make the boundary line solid, and shade the region above the line. To graphy > 2x – 4, make theboundary line dashed because y-values equal to 2x – 4 are not included.
Holt Algebra 2
Think of the underlines in the symbols ::: and �as representing solid lines on the graph.

Example 1B: Graphing Linear Inequalities
Graph the inequality y � –1.
Recall that y= –1 is a horizontal line.
Step 1 Draw a solid line for y=–1 because the boundary line is part of the graph.
Step 2 Shade the region below the boundary line to show where y < –1.Holt Algebra 2
Example 1B Continued
Check The point (0, –2) is a solution because –2 :: –1.
Note that any point on orbelow y = –1 is a solution,
regardless of the value of x.

The boundary line is y = 3x – 2 which has a
y–intercept of –2 and a slope of 3.

Graph the inequality y < –3.
Recall that y = –3 is a horizontal line.
Step 1 Draw the boundary line dashed because it is not part of the solution.

Check The point (0, –4) is a solution because –4 < –3.
Note that any point belowy < –4 is a solution, regardless
of the value of x.
Holt Algebra 2
If the equation of the boundary line is not in slope-intercept form, you can choose a test point that is not on the line to determine which region to shade. If the point satisfies the inequality, then shade the region containing that point.Otherwise, shade the other region.
The point (0, 0) is the easiest point to test if it is not on the boundary line.

Helpful Hint
Example 2: Graphing Linear Inequalities Using Intercepts
Graph 3x + 4y � 12 using intercepts.
Step 1 Find the intercepts.
Substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into 3x + 4y = 12 to find the intercepts of the boundary line.
Holt Algebra 2
y-intercept
3x + 4y = 12
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 3
x-intercept
3x + 4y = 12
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12
x = 4
Example 2 Continued
Step 2 Draw the boundary line. The line goes through (0, 3) and(4, 0). Draw a solid line for the boundary line because it is part of the graph.
Step 3 Find the correct region to shade.Substitute (0, 0) into theinequality. Because 0 + 0 ::: 12 is true, shade the region that contains (0, 0).

Graph 3x – 4y > 12
using intercepts. Step 1 Find the
intercepts.
Substitute x = 0 and y = 0 into 3x – 4y = 12 to find the intercepts of the boundary line.
y-intercept
3x – 4y = 12
3(0) – 4y = 12
– 4y = 12
y = – 3
x-intercept
3x – 4y = 12
3x – 4(0) = 12
3x = 12
x = 4
Step 2 Draw the boundary line. The line goes through (0, –3) and(4, 0). Draw the boundary line dashed because it is not part of the solution.
Step 3 Find the correct regionto shade.Substitute (0, 0) into theinequality. Because 0 + 0 >12 is false, shade the region that does not contain (0, 0).

Many applications of inequalities in two variables use only nonnegative values for the variables.Graph only the part of the plane that includes realistic solutions.
Don’t forget which variable represents which quantity.

Example 3: Problem-Solving Application
A school carnival charges $4.50 for adults and $3.00 for children. The school needs to make at least $135 to cover expenses.
A. Using x as the adult ticket price and y as the child ticket price, write and graph an inequality for the amount the school makes on ticket sales.
B. If 25 child tickets are sold, how many adult tickets must be sold to cover expenses?
Holt Algebra 2
Understand the Problem
The answer will be in two parts: (1) an inequality graph showing the number of each type of ticket that must be sold to cover expenses (2) the number of adult tickets that must be sold to make at least $135 if 25 child tickets are sold.
List the important information:• The school sells tickets at $4.50 for adults
and $3.00 for children.• The school needs to make at least $135.
Holt Algebra 2
Make a Plan
Let x represent the number of adult tickets and y represent the number of child tickets that must be sold. Write an inequality to represent the situation.
Holt Algebra 2
An inequality that models the problem is 4.5x + 3y � 135.
Adult price
times number of adult
tickets
plus child price
times number of child tickets
is at least
total.
4.50 • x + 3.00 • y 135
Solve
Find the intercepts of the boundary line.
Graph the boundary line through (0, 45) and (30, 0) as a solid line.Shade the region above the line that is in the first quadrant, as ticket sales cannot be negative.
4.5(0) + 3y = 135
y = 45
4.5x + 3(0) = 135
x = 30
Holt Algebra 2
If 25 child tickets are sold,
Substitute 25 for y in 4.5x + 3y �
135. Multiply 3 by 25.
A whole number of tickets must be sold.
At least 14 adult tickets must be sold.
Look Back
14($4.50) + 25($3.00) = $138.00, so the answer is reasonable.

A café gives away prizes. A large prize costs the café $125, and the small prize costs $40. The café will not spend more than $1500. How many of each prize can be awarded? How many small prizes can be awarded if 4 large prizes are given away?
Holt Algebra 2
Understand the Problem
The answer will be in two parts: (1) an inequality graph showing the number of each type of prize awarded not too exceed a certain amount (2) the number of small prizes awarded if 4 large prizes are awarded.
List the important information:• The café awarded large prizes valued at
$125 and $40 for small prizes.• The café will not spend over $1500.
Holt Algebra 2
Make a Plan
Let x represent the number of small prizes and y represent the number of large prizes, the total not too exceed $1500. Write an inequality to represent the situation.
Holt Algebra 2
An inequality that models the problem is 40x + 125y ::: 135.
Small prize
times number awarded
plus large prize
times number awarded
is less than
total.
40 x + 125 y :: 1500
Solve
Find the intercepts of the boundary line.
40(0) + 125y = 1500
y = 12
Graph the boundary linethrough (0, 12) and (37.5, 0) as a solid line.
Shade the region below the line that is in the first quadrant, as prizes awarded cannot be negative.
40x + 125(0) = 1500
x = 37.5
Holt Algebra 2
If 4 large prizes are awarded,
Substitute 4 for y in 40x + 125y ::
135. Multiply 125 by 4.
A whole number of small prizes must be awarded.
No more than 25 small prizes can be awarded.
Look Back
$40(25) + $125(4) = $1500, so the answer is reasonable.
40x + 125(4) :: 1500
40x + 500 :: 1500
40x ;: 1000, so x :: 25
