Math Problem Statement
Which of the following systems of inequalities matches the graph shown?
Solution
The image shows a graph with two inequalities, and the task is to match the correct system of inequalities to the shaded region on the graph.
Analysis:
-
Understanding the Graph:
- The graph shows two regions: one shaded in pink, and the other in purple.
- The boundary line, , separates the two regions.
- The line is solid, indicating that the inequality is either or .
- The pink region lies above the line , indicating .
- The purple region lies to the left of the vertical line .
-
Checking the Given Options:
- We need to determine which option correctly represents the system of inequalities that describes the shaded region.
Steps:
- The pink region is .
- The vertical boundary at corresponds to for the purple region.
Answer:
The correct system of inequalities that matches the graph is:
This corresponds to the top right option in the image.
