Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a problem related to graphing the solution set of a system of linear inequalities. The inequalities provided in the screenshot are:
Step-by-step breakdown:
-
Inequality 1: :
- First, solve for in terms of :
- This is the equation of a line: , but since the inequality is , you will graph the line and shade above it.
- The boundary line should be dashed because it is a strict inequality (no equal sign, meaning the line itself is not part of the solution).
-
Inequality 2: :
- This is a horizontal line at , and since the inequality is , you will shade the region above this line.
- The boundary line for this inequality is also dashed because it is a strict inequality.
Graphing Instructions:
- For the first inequality , you can find two points on the line by substituting values for to solve for .
- For , (point: ).
- For , (point: ).
- For the second inequality , the points on the line are easy to determine as they are horizontal at (e.g., , ).
In summary:
- For the boundary line , enter the points and .
- Choose a dashed boundary for both inequalities since they are strict inequalities.
Would you like me to explain anything further or assist with entering the points?
Follow-up questions:
- Why is the boundary line dashed for a strict inequality?
- How would the solution change if the inequality was ?
- How do we determine which region to shade in a graph of inequalities?
- Can you graph systems with more than two inequalities in this manner?
- What role does the slope of the line play in understanding the graph?
Tip:
Always test a point (like ) to check whether it belongs to the solution set when graphing inequalities.
