Question

The shaded region in the graph represents the solutions of this system of linear inequalities:

Answer 1

Answer:

$y$

$y\leq 2x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the solid line

From the graph take the points (0,3) and (4,11)

Find the slope

$m=(11-3)/(4-0)\\m=8/4=2$

The equation of the solid line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=2$

$b=3$ ----> the y-intercept is the point (0,3)

substitute

$y=2x+3$

therefore

The inequality is

$y\leq 2x+3$

step 2

Find the equation of the dashed line

The slope is given

$m=4$

From the graph take the y-intercept (0,-5)

The equation of the solid line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$    

we have

$m=4$

$b=-5$

substitute

$y=4x-5$

therefore

The inequality is

$y$

because the shaded region is below the dashed line

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y$

$y\leq 2x+3$
