Shade above y ≥ 4/(x-2) and below y ≤ -x+5. Their overlap forms the solution: a triangle bounded by x-axis, y = 4/(x-2), and y = -x+5.

The system of inequalities is represented by the following two equations:

(x−2)(y−4)≥0

x+y≤5

We can solve the system by first graphing each inequality individually. Then, we can identify the shaded region that satisfies both inequalities simultaneously.

Steps to solve:

1. Graph the first inequality:

Rewrite the first inequality as y≥ 4/(x−2) .

This is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (2,4).

Since the inequality is non-strict, the line should be a dashed line.

Shade the region above the line (y values greater than or equal to 4/(x - 2)).

2. Graph the second inequality:

Rewrite the second inequality as y≤−x+5.

This is the equation of a sloped line passing through the points (0,5) and (5,0).

Shade the region below the line (y values less than or equal to -x + 5).

3. Identify the solution:

The solution to the system of inequalities is the region that overlaps both shaded areas.

In this case, the solution is the triangular region bounded by the x-axis, the line y= 4/(x-2) , and the line y=−x+5.

Answer:

The solution to the system of inequalities is the triangular region bounded by the x-axis, the line y=

x−2 and the line y=−x+5.

Additional notes:

The points (2,4), (5,−1), and (4,3) are all located within the solution region.

The point (0,0) is not part of the solution region because it does not satisfy both inequalities.
