EXAMPLE 1 Graph a system of two inequalities Graph the system of inequalities. y > – 2 x – 5 Inequality 1 y< x+3 Inequality 2
EXAMPLE 1 Graph a system of two inequalities SOLUTION STEP 1 Graph each inequality in the system. Use red for y > – 2 x – 5 and blue for y ≤ x + 3. STEP 2 Identify the region that is common to both graphs. It is the region that is shaded purple.
EXAMPLE 2 Graph a system with no solution Graph the system of inequalities. 2 x + 3 y < 6 y< – 2 x+4 3 Inequality 1 Inequality 2
EXAMPLE 2 Graph a system with no solution SOLUTION STEP 1 Graph each inequality in the system. Use red for 2 x + 3 y < 6 and blue for y > – 2 x + 4. 3 STEP 2 Identify the region that is common to both graphs. There is no region shaded both red and blue. So, the system has no solution.
EXAMPLE 3 Graph a system with an absolute value inequality Graph the system of inequalities. y<3 Inequality 1 y> x+4 Inequality 2
EXAMPLE 3 Graph a system with an absolute value inequality SOLUTION STEP 1 Graph each inequality in the system. Use red for y ≤ 3 and blue for y > x + 4. STEP 2 Identify the region that is common to both graphs. It is the region that is shaded purple.
