Graph of linear inequalities in two variables: We shall consider simultaneous inequalities.
Examples:
Show on a graph the region that contains the solution of the simultaneous inequalities
\(2x + 3y < 6,\) \(y -2x ≤ 2, y ≥ 0\)
Solution: In each case put \(y\) on one side of the inequality \(y < \frac{6 -2x}{3},\) \(y ≤ 2 + 2x\) and \(y ≥ 0\)
We shall draw the lines \(y =\frac{6 -2x}{3},\) \(y = 2 + 2x\) and \(y = 0\)
| \(x\) | -2 | 0 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| \(y_1 = \frac{6 -2x}{3}\) | 3.3 | 22 | 0.7 | 0 |
| \(y_2 = 2 + 2x\) | -2 | 2 | 6 | 8 |
Points \(p_1(0, 0), p_2(1, 1)\) are in the solution set for the three inequalities.
