Does the graph represent the solution set of the system of inequalities?

−2x+y≥1


y<−12x−3


Use the image to answer the question.

The coordinate grid has x and y axes labeled from negative 5 to 5. The graph of a solid line goes through the points negative 1, negative 1; 0, 1; and 1, 3. There is shading above the line. The graph of a dashed line goes through the points negative 4, negative 1; 0, negative 3; and 2, negative 4. There is shading below the line.

Select the correct answers from the lists.

(2 points)
One should be a solid line, with a slope of 2, a y-intercept of 1, and shading
above
it.

The other should be a
solid
line, with a slope of −12

it.

So, the graph
represent the solution set of the system of inequalities.

To determine whether the graph accurately represents the solution set of the given system of inequalities, let's analyze each inequality:

  1. For the first inequality: \(-2x + y \geq 1\)

    Rearranging this, we have: \[ y \geq 2x + 1 \]

    • The slope is \(2\).
    • The y-intercept is \(1\).
    • Since the inequality is "greater than or equal to," the line should be solid, and the shading should be above the line.
  2. For the second inequality: \(y < -\frac{1}{2}x - 3\)

    Rearranging this gives: \[ y < -\frac{1}{2}x - 3 \]

    • The slope is \(-\frac{1}{2}\).
    • The y-intercept is \(-3\).
    • Since the inequality is "less than," the line should be dashed, and the shading should be below the line.

Analyzing the Graph:

  • The first inequality is represented by a solid line with a slope of \(2\) and a y-intercept of \(1\), which seems to match correctly with the shading above the line.
  • The second inequality is represented by a dashed line but with a slope of \(-12\), which does not correspond to the correct second inequality. In fact, the correct slope for the second line should be \(-\frac{1}{2}\), not \(-12\).

Conclusion:

Thus, the graph does not represent the solution set of the system of inequalities, since the second inequality is represented incorrectly.

Final Answers to Select:

  1. One should be a solid line, with a slope of 2, a y-intercept of 1, and shading above it.

  2. The other should be a dashed line, with a slope of -1/2, a y-intercept of -3, and shading below it.

So, the graph does not represent the solution set of the system of inequalities.
