Math Problem Statement
Graph the linear inequality. xminus−ygreater than or equals≥2
Solution
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Define the inequality line: x - y = 2
x = np.linspace(-5, 10, 400) y = x - 2
Set up the plot
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
Plot the boundary line (x - y = 2)
plt.plot(x, y, label="x - y = 2", color="blue")
Fill the region where x - y >= 2
plt.fill_between(x, y, y + 20, where=(y + 20 > y), color="lightblue", alpha=0.5)
Labels and grid
plt.title("Graph of x - y ≥ 2") plt.xlabel("x") plt.ylabel("y") plt.axhline(0, color="black",linewidth=0.5) plt.axvline(0, color="black",linewidth=0.5) plt.grid(color = 'gray', linestyle = '--', linewidth = 0.5) plt.legend() plt.show() <<ImageDisplayed>>successHere is the graph of the linear inequality . The shaded region represents all points that satisfy the inequality.
Do you want further details about the graph or have any questions?
Here are 5 related questions you might explore:
- How do we determine the boundary line for a linear inequality?
- What changes in the graph if the inequality becomes strict ( instead of )?
- How can we test whether a point lies in the solution region?
- How do we graph systems of linear inequalities?
- What happens to the graph if we flip the inequality sign?
Tip: Always substitute a test point (like ) into the inequality to verify which region to shade.
