Answer:

The system of inequalities is -2x + y > 0 -x + y ≥ 0

Explanation:

The form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

The line passes through the origin, then

  • The value of b = 0
  • The form of the equation is y = m x

Let us look at the graph to find the correct answer

∵ One of the lines are solid and the other is dashed

∵ The shaded area is over the two lines

The signs of the two inequalities are ≥ and >

∵ The two lines pass through the origin

→ That means the y-intercepts are 0

The form of the inequalities are y ≥ m
_(1) x and y > m
_(2)

There are only two answers that have these forms, so we must find the slope of each line

∵ m =
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) , (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line

∵ The solid line passes through points (0, 0) and (2, 2)

∴ m
_(1) =
(2-0)/(2-0) =
(2)/(2) = 1

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation

∴ y ≥ 1(x)

∴ y ≥ x

→ Subtract x from both sides

-x + y ≥ 0

∵ The dashed line passes through points (0, 0) and (1, 2)

∴ m
_(2) =
(2-0)/(1-0) =
(2)/(1) = 2

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation

∴ y > 2(x)

∴ y > 2x

→ Subtract 2x from both sides

-2x + y > 0

The system of inequalities is -2x + y > 0 -x + y ≥ 0
