Question

A system of linear inequalities is shown below: y − x > 0 x + 1 < 0 Which of the following graphs best represents the solution set to this system of linear inequalities? The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 4, 4. The portion common to the right of the first line and above the second line is shaded The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 2, 2. The portion common to the left of the first line and above the second line is shaded The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 2, 2. The portion common to the left of the first line, above the second line and below the x axis is shaded The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 3, 3. The portion common to the left of the first line and above the x axis is shaded

Answer 1

The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 4, 4. The portion common to the right of the first line and above the second line is shaded

Explanation:

we have

First inequality

x+1 > 0

x > -1

The solution of the first inequality is the shaded area at right of the dashed line x=-1 (vertical line)

Second inequality

y-x > 0

y> x

The solution of the second inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line y=x

therefore

The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs negative 1, 5 and negative 1, negative 4. The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs negative 2, negative 2 and 4, 4. The portion common to the right of the first line and above the second line is shaded
