Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:
2x – y >1, x – 2y < – 1
Given 2x – y >1………………1
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = -1 and x = 1/2 = 0.5
The points are (0,-1) and (0.5 , 0)
Checking for the origin, putting (0,0)
0 >1 , which is false
Hence the origin does not lie in the solution region. The required region would be on the right of the line`s graph.
x – 2y < – 1…………2
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = 1/2 = 0.5 and x = -1
The required points are (0, 0.5) and (-1, 0)
Now checking for the origin, (0,0)
0 < -1 which is false
Hence the origin does not lies in the solution area, the required area would be on the left side of the line`s graph.
∴ the shaded area is the required solution of the given inequalities.
