To identify equations that are not linear inequalities in two variables, you need to look for specific characteristics that distinguish them from linear inequalities. A linear inequality in two variables typically has the form:[tex]ax + by \leq c[/tex] or [tex]ax + by \geq c[/tex] or [tex]ax = by < c[/tex] or [tex]ax + by > c[/tex]Where:a, b and c are constantsx and y are variablesNo power or exponents greater than 1 or x and yNo products of variables (ex. xy)No non-linear terms like [tex]x^{2}[/tex], [tex]y^{2}[/tex], or square roots
