Question
Solve the following system of linear inequalities graphically.
  1. x + y ≥ 5
  2. x - y $\le$ 3

Answer

Given,
x + y $\geq$ 5..... (1)
x - y $\leq$ 3..... (2)
The graph of linear equation
x + y = 5 is drawn in the figure

We note that the solution of inequality (1) is represented by the shaded region above the line x + y = 5, including the points on the line.
On the same set of axes, we draw the graph of the equation x – y = 3 as shown in the figure. Then we note that inequality (2) represents the shaded region above the line x – y = 3, including the points on the line.
Clearly, the double shaded region, common to the above two shaded regions is the required solution region of the given system of inequalities.
