Question
Solve the system of inequality graphically: 2x – y >1, x – 2y < –1

Answer

The given inequality is 2x - y > 1
Draw the graph of the line 2x - y = 1
Table of values satisfying the equation
2x - y = 1

X 1 2
Y 1 3


Putting (0, 0) in the given inequation, we have
$2 \times 0 - 0 > 1 \Rightarrow 0 > 1$, which is false.
$\therefore $ Half plane of 2x - y > 1 is away from origin.
Also the given inequality is x - 2y < -1
Draw the graph of the line x - 2y = -1
Table of values satisfying the equation x - 2y = -1

X 1 2
Y 1 2

Putting (0, 0) in the given inequation, we have
$0 - 2 \times 0 < - 1 \Rightarrow 0 < - 1$ which is false
$\therefore $ Half plane of x - 2y < - 1 is away from origin.
