1. Problem Description
The problem requires graphing the solution to the following system of inequalities:
2. Solution Steps
First, we rewrite the inequalities in slope-intercept form (i.e., ).
For the first inequality, , we can rearrange it to isolate :
, or
For the second inequality, , we can rearrange it to isolate :
Now we have the system of inequalities:
To graph the solution, we need to graph the lines and .
For the line , the y-intercept is 6 and the slope is
1. For the line $y = -2x - 5$, the y-intercept is -5 and the slope is -
2.
Since the first inequality is , we shade the region below the line .
Since the second inequality is , we shade the region above the line .
The solution to the system of inequalities is the region where the two shaded regions overlap.
The intersection point of the two lines can be found by setting , so , and .
Then .
So, the intersection point is .
3. Final Answer
The solution to the system of inequalities and is the region bounded by the lines and , where and . The intersection point of these lines is . We shade the region below and above .
