Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:
2x + y ≥ 4, x + y ≤ 3, 2x – 3y ≤ 6
Given 2x + y ≥ 4,
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = 4 and x =2
The required points are (0, 4) and (2, 0)
Checking for origin (0, 0)
0 ≥ 4, this is not true
Hence the origin doesn’t lies in the solution area of the line`s graph. The solution area would be given by the right side of the line`s graph.
x + y 3,
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = 3 and x = 3
The required points are (0, 3) and (3, 0)
Checking for the origin (0, 0)
0 ≤ 3, this is true
Hence the solution area would include the origin and hence would be on the left side of the line`s graph.
2x – 3y 6
Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of
y = -2 and x = 3
The required points are (0, -2), (3, 0)
Checking for the origin (0, 0)
0 ≤ 6 this is true
So the origin lies in the solution area and the area would be on the left of the line`s graph.
Hence the shaded area in the graph is the required solution area for the given inequalities.
