Question

A system of linear inequalities is shown below:

y − x > 0
y − 1 > 0

Which of the following graphs best represents the solution set to this system of linear inequalities?

Answer 1

\(y-1>0\) means \(y>1\) so everything above the horizontal line \(y=1\) is shaded for that part

Answer 2

C?

Answer 3

no look carefully

Answer 4

C has everything above the horizontal line shaded true, but it also has to be above the line \(y=x\)

Answer 5

So, not one, but two, conditions are imposted on potential solutions.
If the coordinates of a point satisfy one of the given inequalities, but not the other, then that point does not represent a solution. If, on the other hand, the coordinates satisfy both inequalities, then you've identified a solution.

Answer 6

D?

Answer 7

I think that one is right now.. after your guys explanations
