# Lesson 21

Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables (Part 1)

### Problem 1

Here is a graph of the equation $$2y - x = 1$$.

​​​​​​

1. Are the points $$(0,\frac12)$$ and $$(\text-7,\text-3)$$ solutions to the equation? Explain or show how you know.
2. Check if each of these points is a solution to the inequality $$2y -x > 1$$:

• $$(0,2)$$
• $$(8,\frac{1}{2})$$
• $$(\text{-}6,3)$$
• $$(\text{-}7,\text{-}3)$$
3. Shade the region that represents the solution set to the inequality $$2y -x > 1$$.

4. Are the points on the line included in the solution set? Explain how you know.

### Problem 3

Consider the linear equation $$2y - 3x = 5$$

1. The pair $$(\text-1,1)$$ is a solution to the equation. Find another $$(x,y)$$ pair that is a solution to the equation.
2. Are $$(\text-1,1)$$ and $$(4,1)$$  solutions to the inequality $$2y - 3x < 5$$? Explain how you know.
3. Explain how to use the answers to the previous questions to graph the solution set to the inequality $$2y - 3x < 5$$.

### Problem 5

$$x-3y<5$$

B:

$$x-3y \leq 5$$

C:

$$x-3y>5$$

### Problem 6

Solve each system of equations without graphing.

1. $$\begin{cases} 4d+7e=68 \\ \text-4d-6e=\text-72\\ \end{cases}$$

2. $$\begin{cases} \frac14 x+y=1 \\ \frac32 x-y=\frac43 \\ \end{cases}$$

### Problem 7

Mai and Tyler are selling items to earn money for their elementary school. The school earns $$w$$ dollars for every wreath sold and $$p$$ dollars for every potted plant sold. Mai sells 14 wreaths and 3 potted plants and the school earns $70.50. Tyler sells 10 wreaths and 7 potted plants and the school earns$62.50.

This situation is represented by this system of equations: $$\begin{cases}14w + 3p = 70.50\\ 10w + 7p = 62.50 \end{cases}$$

Explain why it makes sense in this situation that the solution of this system is also a solution to $$4w + (\text- 4p) = 8.00$$.
