Solve the following system of inequalities graphically: x + y≥ 4, 2x – y > 0

Open in App

Solution

x + y≥ 4 … (1)

2x – y > 0 … (2)

The graph of the lines, x + y = 4 and 2x – y = 0, are drawn in the figure below.

Inequality (1) represents the region above the line, x + y = 4 (including the line x + y = 4).

It is observed that (1, 0) satisfies the inequality, 2x – y > 0. [2(1) – 0 = 2 > 0]

Therefore, inequality (2) represents the half plane corresponding to the line, 2x – y = 0, containing the point (1, 0) [excluding the line 2x – y > 0].

Hence, the solution of the given system of linear inequalities is represented by the common shaded region including the points on line x + y = 4 and excluding the points on line 2x – y = 0 as follows.
