Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:
x + y ≤ 9, y > x, x ≥ 0
Given x + y ≤ 9,
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = 9 and x = 9
The required points are (0,9) and (9,0)
Checking if the origin is included in the line`s graph (0,0)
0 9
Which is true , so the required area would be including the origin and hence will lie on the left side of the line`s graph.
y > x,
Solving for y = x
we get x= 0, y = 0 so the origin lies on the line`s graph.
The other points would be (0, 0) and (2, 2)
Checking for (9, 0) in y > x,
we get 0 > 9 which is false, since the area would not include the area below the line`s graph and hence would be on the left side of the line.
x 0
The area of the required line`s graph would be on the right side of the line`s graph.
∴ the shaded are is the required solution of the given inequalities.
