2.16 Linear Inequalities: Solutions Using Graphing

Graph for x + y £ 3 and y £ 2x - 3

Question: Graph the solution to this system of inequalities:
x + y £ 3
y £ 2x - 3
Solution:
First we draw a graph for y £ 2x - 3.
Ordered pairs for y = 2x - 3

x-2-1012
y = 2x - 3-7-5-3-11
Ordered pairs(-2,-7)(-1,-5)(0,-3)(1,-1)(2,1)

Any point in the cross region where the two regions overlap will satisfy x + y £ 3 and y £ 2x - 3
Note: A system involving parallel lines may lack a solution because there are no overlapping regions.
Example: y = x + 2 and y = x - 1

Question 1: Graph the solution to this system of inequalities: x + 2y £ 12 and 3x - y ³ 6
Question 2: Graph the solution to this system of inequalities: x ³ 2 and y £ 4 and x - y < 6
