Math Problem Statement
Solve the system of two linear inequalities graphically. The system is x > 7 and y ≥ 3. Find the region with points that satisfy both inequalities.
Solution
Let's solve the system of inequalities graphically, as requested in the problem:
The system of inequalities is:
Interpretation:
- The inequality means that we are considering all the points where the -coordinate is greater than 7. In the graph, this is a vertical line at , and the region to the right of this line represents the solution set.
- The inequality means that we are considering all points where the -coordinate is greater than or equal to 3. In the graph, this is a horizontal line at , and the region above this line (including the line) is part of the solution.
Shaded Region:
- The region that satisfies both inequalities will be where both conditions are true. That is, is greater than 7 and is greater than or equal to 3.
- This corresponds to the upper-right quadrant of the graph beyond and .
Answer:
Looking at the graph in your image, region D is the one in the upper-right area that satisfies both conditions.
So, the correct answer is D.

- How would the graph change if instead of ?
- What would the solution region look like if the inequalities were and ?
- How would you represent a system of three inequalities graphically?
- What if the inequality had been a strict inequality (without the "equal to")?
- How can we determine the vertices of the feasible region in a system of inequalities?
Tip: Always check if the inequalities include the boundary lines (i.e., whether the inequality is strict or includes "equal to") to shade the region correctly.
