Math Problem Statement

Which graph represents the solution set for the inequality y ≥ x + 1?

Solution

It looks like you've uploaded a few images of graphs related to an inequality. The inequality in question is:

yx+1y \geq x + 1

Let me break down what the solution set for this inequality represents.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

  • The inequality yx+1y \geq x + 1 is based on the line y=x+1y = x + 1.
  • This is a linear equation with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 1.
  • The solution to this inequality includes all points on or above the line y=x+1y = x + 1.
  • The boundary line y=x+1y = x + 1 is solid because the inequality is \geq, which includes the points on the line.
  • The region that satisfies the inequality is the area above this line, as it indicates yy is greater than or equal to x+1x + 1.

Analyzing the Graphs:

  • The first graph shows a region shaded below the line, which represents yx+1y \leq x + 1. This is not the solution.
  • The second graph shows the correct solution: the line y=x+1y = x + 1 is solid, and the region above it is shaded.
  • The third graph also has the correct solution with the solid line and shaded region above the line.

Based on the given options, the second and third graphs represent the correct solution set for the inequality yx+1y \geq x + 1.
