The shaded region in the provided graph represents the solution set for which of the following systems of linear inequalities?
Options
- A2x + y 2, x - y 1, x + 2y 8, x 0, y 0
- Bx + 2y 2, x - y 1, x + 2y 8, x 0, y 0
- C2x + y 2, x - y 1, x + 2y 8, x 0, y 0
- D2x + y 2, x - y 1, 2x + y 8, x 0, y 0
Correct answer
C. 2x + y 2, x - y 1, x + 2y 8, x 0, y 0
Step-by-step solution
The equations of the lines forming the boundaries of the shaded region are determined as follows. The line passing through the points E(0, 2) and A(1, 0) has the equation x 1 + y 2 = 1 , which simplifies to 2x + y = 2 . The shaded region lies away from the origin relative to this line. Testing a point inside the region, such as (1, 2) , gives 2(1) + 2 = 4 2 . Thus, the corresponding inequality is 2x + y 2 . The line passing through the points D(0, 4) and B ( 10 3 , 7 3 ) has a slope m = 7 3 - 4 10 3 - 0 = - 1 2 . I
