Graph the solution sets of the following inequations:

x + y 4


Given x + y 4


y 4 - x


Consider the equation y = 4 - x.


Finding points on the coordinate axes:


If x = 0, the y value is 4 i.e, y = 4


the point on the Y axis is A(0,4)


If y = 0, 0 = 4 - x


x = 4


The point on the X axis is B(4,0)


Plotting the points on the graph: fig. 1a


Now consider the inequality y 4 - x


Here we need the y value greater than or equal to 4 - x


the required region is above point A.


Therefore the graph of the inequation x + y 4 is fig. 1b
