Question

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to this!

Answer 1

Graph the system of linear inequalities

x + y > 5

- x - y < -5

First we graph x + y >5

Step 1: replace > symbol by = sign

x + y =5

step 2 : Solve the equation for y

x + y =5 (subtract x from both sides)

y = 5 - x

step 3: Now we make a table . plug in some number for x  and find out y

x -----> y

-1 -----> 6   ( y=5-x => y=5-(-1)= 6)

0 -----> 5   ( y=5-x => y=5-(0)= 5)

1 -----> 4   ( y=5-x => y=5-(1)= 4)

Step 4:  we graph the table.

step 5: Shade the region that satisfies our inequality

x + y > 5. Greater than symbol implies that we shade the graph to the right

Graphing second inequality - x - y < -5

All terms have negative sign . so divide all the terms by -1. When we divide an inequality by -1 its sign changes

- x - y < -5 becomes x + y > 5

Follow the same steps to graph this inequality

After dividing the second equation  by -1 , we got the same as the first equation.

So we will get the same graph

Both graphs overlaps

The graph of first and second inequality overlaps
