Question
Solve the following systems of linear inequations graphically:
$2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq4,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$

Answer



We have,

$2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq6,\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq4,\text{x}\geq0,\text{y}\geq0$

Converting the given inequation into equations, the inequations reduce to 2x + 3y = 6,

x + 4y = 4, x = 0 and y = 0.

Region represented by $2\text{x}+3\text{y}\leq6$

Putting x = 0 inequation 2x + 3y = 6

we get $\text{y}=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Putting y = 0 in the equation 2x + 3y = 6,

we get $\text{x}=\frac{6}{2}=3.$

$\therefore$ This line 2x + 3y = 6 meets the coordinate axes at (0, 2) and (3, 0). Draw a thick line joining these points. We find that (0, 0) satisfies inequation 2x + 3y 36.

Region represented by $\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq4$

Putting x = 0 in x + 4y = 4

we get $\text{y}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

Putting y = 0 in x + 4y = 4

we get x = 4

$\therefore$ This line x + 4y = 4 meets the coordinate axes at (0, 1) and (4, 0). Draw a thick line joining these points.

Now putting x = 0, y = 0 in $\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq4$ we get $0\leq4$

Clearly, we find that (0, 0) satisfying in equation $\text{x}+4\text{y}\leq4$

Region represent by $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$

Clearly $\text{x}\geq0$ and $\text{y}\geq0$ represent in first quadrant.
