Math Problem Statement

Graph the solution of the system of linear inequalities. x less than or equals 5 y greater than or equals minus 6

Solution

Here is the graph of the system of inequalities:

  • The blue dashed vertical line represents x5x \leq 5, with shading to the left.
  • The green dashed horizontal line represents y6y \geq -6, with shading above.

The solution to the system is the region where both shaded areas overlap, which is the area to the left of x=5x = 5 and above y=6y = -6.

Would you like further details or have any questions about the graph?

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:

  1. How would the graph change if the inequality was x>5x > 5 instead of x5x \leq 5?
  2. How would you graph y6y \leq -6 instead of y6y \geq -6?
  3. What happens if you add another inequality, such as y2y \leq 2, to the system?
  4. How would the region look if the inequality x=5x = 5 was strict (without the "equal to" part)?
  5. How do you find the intersection points of multiple inequalities?

Tip: Always check the boundary lines (dashed or solid) to determine if they are included in the solution.
