Given:

The graph of the system of inequalities.

To find:

The system of inequalities.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the first line passes through the points (0,2) and (1,-1). So, the equation of the boundary line is:


y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)


y-2=(-1-2)/(1-0)(x-0)


y-2=-3x


y=-3x+2

The shaded region lies above the line and the boundary line is a solid line. So, the sign of inequality must by ≥.


y\geq -3x+2

The second line passes through the points (0,-2) and (3,0). So, the equation of the boundary line is:


y-(-2)=(0-(-2))/(3-0)(x-0)


y+2=(2)/(3)x


y=(2)/(3)x-2

The shaded region lies above the line and the boundary line is a solid line. So, the sign of inequality must by ≥.


y\geq (2)/(3)x-2

Therefore, the system of inequalities contains two linear inequalities
y\geq -3x+2 and
y\geq (2)/(3)x-2.
