Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:

    \[5x+4y\le 20\]

,

    \[x\ge 1\]

,

    \[y\ge 2\]

Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:

    \[5x+4y\le 20\]

,

    \[x\ge 1\]

,

    \[y\ge 2\]

Solution:

The given inequalities are

    \[5x+4y\le 20\]

,

    \[x\ge 1\]

,

    \[y\ge 2\]

For

    \[5x+4y\le 20\]

,

Let us put value of

    \[x=0\]

and

    \[y=0\]

in equation one by one, we get

    \[y=5\]

and

    \[x=4\]

We get the required points as  

    \[(0,5)\]

and

    \[(4,0)\]

To check if the origin is included in the line`s graph

    \[(0,0)\]

    \[0\le 20\]

Which is true, hence the origin would lie in the solution area. The required area of the line`s graph is on the left side of the graph.

Now we have  

    \[x\ge 1\]

,

So for all the values of y, x would be

    \[1\]

,

We get the required points as  

    \[(1,0)\]

,

    \[(1,2)\]

and so on.

To check if the origin is included in the line`s graph

    \[(0,0)\]

    \[0\ge 1\]

, which is not true

Therefore, the origin would not lie in the required area. The required area on the graph will be on the right side of the line`s graph.

Now consider  

    \[y\ge 2\]

,Similarly for all the values of x, y would be

    \[2\]

.

We get the required points as  

    \[(0,2)\]

,

    \[(1,2)\]

and so on.

To check if the origin is included in the line`s graph

    \[(0,0)\]

    \[0\ge 2\]

, which  is not true

Therefore the required area would be on the right side of the line`s graph.

In the below graph the shaded area in the graph is the required solution of the given inequalities.
