Math Problem Statement
Identify the system of inequalities from the graph.
Solution
In the image you provided, the shaded region represents the solution to a system of linear inequalities. I will determine the inequalities based on the graph.
Steps to identify the inequalities:
-
Identify the boundary lines:
- There are two boundary lines, one vertical and one slanted.
- The slanted line has a negative slope and intersects the y-axis above the origin.
- The vertical line appears to be located at .
-
Determine the equations of the lines:
- The vertical line is straightforward: it is .
- The slanted line appears to pass through points like and . This gives a slope of , so its equation is .
-
Determine the inequality signs:
- The shading on the left side of means the inequality for this boundary is .
- The shading above the slanted line suggests the inequality is because the shading is above the line.
Final System of Inequalities:
Would you like more details or have further questions? Here are some related questions:
- How do we graph inequalities like these manually?
- How can we verify if a point is a solution to this system?
- What changes if the inequality were strict, like ?
- Can inequalities have different boundary types (e.g., dashed lines)?
- How do we interpret systems with more than two inequalities?
Tip: Always test a point (like the origin) when determining the correct region to shade for an inequality.
