The graph of the solution of the system of inequaities is the graph (b)

Which graph is the solution of the system of inequaities

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

x + 2y < 16

4x + y > 6

Make y the subject in both inequaities

So, we have

2y < -x + 16

y < -x/2 + 8

4x + y > 6

y > -4x + 6

This means that

  • Both inequalities have a negative slope
  • Since they use > and <, then the lines are dotted lines
  • Since they use > and <, then the shaded region is between them

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

the solution of the system of inequaities is the graph (b)
