Math Problem Statement
Which system of linear inequalities has the possible solution shown in the graph?
Solution
To determine which system of linear inequalities represents the shaded region in the graph, we need to analyze each inequality based on the boundary lines and the direction of shading.
Step 1: Analyzing the Boundary Lines
From the graph, there are two boundary lines:
- The line with a slope of and a y-intercept of , given by:
- The line with a slope of and a y-intercept of , given by:
Step 2: Determining the Inequalities
Looking at the shaded region:
- The shading is below the line , indicating .
- The shading is above the line , indicating .
Conclusion
The system of inequalities that corresponds to the shaded region is:
y \leq \frac{3}{5}x + 3 \\ y \geq \frac{2}{5}x + 3 \end{cases}$$ ### Answer The correct option is the second one: $$\begin{cases} y \leq \frac{3}{5}x + 3 \\ y \geq \frac{2}{5}x + 3 \end{cases}$$ Would you like more details on this solution or have any further questions? --- Here are some related questions to explore further: 1.
