System Of Inequalities
Definition Of System Of Inequalities
A System of Equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables graphed on the same coordinate plane.

Solved Example on System of Inequalities
Ques: Which of the graphs defines the system of inequalities, x + y < 3,="" -="" 5x="" +="" 2y="" ≤="" 10,="" y="" ≥="" -="">
Choices:
A. Graph-1
B. Graph-2
C. Graph-3
D. Graph-4
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Step 1: Graph all the three inequalities in the same coordinate plane.
Step 2: The graph of x + y < 3="" is="" the="" half-plane="" below="" the="" dashed="" line="" x="" +="" y="3.">
Step 3: The graph of - 5x + 2y ≤ 10 is the half-plane on and below the solid line - 5x + 2y = 10.
Step 4: The graph of y ≥ - 3 is the half-plane on and above the solid line y = - 3.
Step 5: The graph of the system is the intersection of the three half planes as shown in the graph.
Step 6: Graph-1 is the correct answer.
