System of Two-Variable Inequalities
The solution region of a system of two-variable inequalities consists of all points (a, b) such
that when x = a and y = b, all inequalities in the system are true. To solve two-variable
inequalities, the inequalities must be manipulated to isolate the y variable and enter the
other side of the inequality as a function. The calculator will only accept functions of the
form y = . (where y is defined explicitly in terms of x).
Example
Solve a system of two-variable inequalities by shading the solution region.

Graphical solution methods not only offer instructive visualization of the solution process,
but they can be applied to inequalities that are often difficult to solve algebraically.
The EL-9650/9600c/9450/9400 allows the solution region to be indicated visually using
the Shade feature. Also, the points of intersection can be obtained easily.
