The Graphical Solution to the following system of inequalities:
3x + 2y > -2 & x - 2y ≤ -4
See student diagram...
The first inequality in slope intercept form is y > -3x/2 - 1
The graph of the "Boundary line" y = -3x/2 - 1 intercepts
the y-axis at - 1.
The boundary line has a negative slope with a rise of - 3
(falls 3 units) and a run of + 2...
The boundary line is DOTTED (since y can NOT = -3x/2 - 1)
The portion ABOVE (and to the right of) the boundary line
is SHADED
The second inequality in slope intercept form is y ≥ 1x/2 +2
The graph of the "Boundary line" y = 1x/2 +2 intercepts
the y-axis at + 2.
The boundary line has a poitive slope with a rise of
1 and a run of + 2...
The boundary line is SOLID (since y can also = 1x/2 +2)
The portion ABOVE (and to the left of) the boundary line is SHADED
THEREFOR, the solution set will be the portion that is shaded in both graphs...the top center portion
