Consider the system of inequalities and its graph. y ≤ -0.75x y ≤ 3x - 2. In which section of the graph does the actual solution to the system lie?
1, 2, 3, 4
Solution:
Given system of inequalities,
y ≤ -0.75x
y ≤ 3x - 2
We need to assign a value for x to check the possible values of y.
Graphing y ≤ -0.75x,
Let y = -0.75x
When x = 0, y = 0
When x = 1, y = -0.75(1) = -0.75
Thus, join the points (0,0) and (1, -0.75) in coordinate plane, 0 ≤ -0.75(0) (true)
So, the shaded region will contain the origin.
Graphing y ≤ 3x - 2
Let y = 3x - 2
When x = 0,
y = 3(0) - 2 = 0 - 2
y = -2
When y = 0, 0 = 3x - 2
3x = 2
x = 2/3
Thus, join the points (0, -2) and (2/3, 0) in coordinate plane, 0 ≤ 3(0) - 2 (false)
So, the shaded region won't contain the origin.
Also, ‘≤ ‘ represents the solid line.
Therefore, the actual solution lies in the fourth quadrant.
Consider the system of inequalities and its graph. y ≤ -0.75x y ≤ 3x - 2. In which section of the graph does the actual solution to the system lie?
Summary:
Consider the system of inequalities and its graph. y ≤ -0.75x y ≤ 3x - 2. The actual solution to the system lies in the fourth quadrant.
