Answer:

The vertices of the triangle are (2.625, 5.125), (0.645, 5.52), and (5.818, 0.182).

Explanation:

To find the vertices of the triangle formed by the system of inequalities, we need to find the intersection points of each pair of lines.

1. First Inequality:

5y ≤ 2x + 9

Rewrite to express y in terms of x:

y ≤ (2/5)x + (9/5)

2. Second Inequality:

y ≤ -x + 6

3. Third Inequality:

9y ≥ -2x + 5

Divide both sides by 9:

y ≥ (-2/9)x + (5/9)

4. Intersections:

First and Second Inequality:

Set both inequalities equal to each other:

(2/5)x + (9/5) = -x + 6

Solve for x:

3x + 9 = -5x + 30

8x = 21

x = 2.625

Substitute x back into either inequality to find y:

y ≤ (-2/5) * 2.625 + 6

y ≤ 5.125

Intersection point 1: (2.625, 5.125)

First and Third Inequality:

Set both inequalities equal to each other:

(2/5)x + (9/5) = (-2/9)x + (5/9)

Solve for x:

21x + 45 = -10x + 25

31x = 20

x = 0.645

Substitute x back into either inequality to find y:

y ≤ (-2/5) * 0.645 + 6

y ≤ 5.52

Intersection point 2: (0.645, 5.52)

Second and Third Inequality:

Set both inequalities equal to each other:

-x + 6 = (-2/9)x + (5/9)

Solve for x:

9x - 54 = -2x + 10

11x = 64

x = 5.818

Substitute x back into either inequality to find y:

y ≤ -5.818 + 6

y ≤ 0.182

Intersection point 3: (5.818, 0.182)

Thus, the vertices of the triangle are (2.625, 5.125), (0.645, 5.52), and (5.818, 0.182).
