Linear inequalities two variables test: questions

Question 1 – Test points [2 pts]

Is each point a solution of \(y \le -x + 3\)?

  1. \((1, 1)\) (1 point)
  2. \((3, 1)\) (1 point)

Question 2 – Boundary and shading [2 pts]

For the inequality \(y > 2x – 4\), state whether the boundary line is solid or dashed and which side of the line is shaded.

Question 3 – Graph an inequality [2 pts]

xy-4-3-2-1123456-3-2-1123456
Grid for question 3.

Graph \(y \ge \frac{1}{2}x + 1\) on the grid.

Question 4 – Standard form [2 pts]

Rewrite \(2x – y < 4\) in slope-intercept form and describe its graph.

Question 5 – Write from a graph [2 pts]

xy-4-3-2-1123456-4-3-2-112345
Graph for question 5.

Write the inequality graphed.

Question 6 – Check a system [2 pts]

Is \((2, 3)\) a solution of the system \(y > x\) and \(y \le -x + 6\)? Show your work.

Question 7 – Graph a system [3 pts]

xy-3-2-11234567-4-3-2-1123456
Grid for question 7.

Graph the system \(y \ge x – 2\) and \(y < -x + 4\). Mark the corner of the solution region.

Question 8 – Lemonade stand [3 pts]

At a lemonade stand, large cups cost $4 (\(x\)) and small cups cost $3 (\(y\)). The goal is at least $80 in sales.

  1. Write an inequality. (1 point)
  2. Is selling 10 large and 15 small cups enough? (1 point)
  3. Is selling 8 large and 12 small cups enough? (1 point)

Question 9 – Time constraints [2 pts]

Noah spends \(x\) hours on soccer and \(y\) hours on chess each week. He spends at least 2 hours on soccer, at least 1 hour on chess, and at most 10 hours in total. Write a system of inequalities and give one possible pair \((x, y)\).

Key facts behind this linear inequalities two variables test

Key facts
  • A solution of an inequality in two variables is an ordered pair that makes it true.
  • The boundary line is solid for ≤ and ≥, and dashed for < and >.
  • Test a point not on the line to decide which side to shade.
  • For y > mx + b, shade above; for y < mx + b, shade below.
  • The solution of a system is the overlap of the shaded regions.
