Solve the following inequalities graphically in two-dimensional plane:
x + y < 5
Given: x + y < 5
Consider: x + y = 5
X | 0 | 5 |
Y | 5 | 0 |
Now draw a dotted line x + y = 5 in the graph (∵ x + y = 5 is excluded in the given question)
Now Consider x + y < 5
Select a point (0,0)
⇒ 0 + 0 < 5
⇒ 0 < 5 (this is true)
∴ Solution region of the given inequality is below the line x + y = 5. (That is origin is included in the region)
The graph is as follows:
