To determine which of the graphs represents a system of inequalities with no solutions, we need to consider how inequalities and their corresponding graphical representations work:
-
Solid Lines: These indicate that the points on the line are included in the inequality (i.e., the inequalities are non-strict: \( \leq \) or \( \geq \)).
-
Dashed Lines: These indicate that the points on the line are not included in the inequality (i.e., the inequalities are strict: \( < \) or \( > \)).
-
No Solutions: A system of inequalities has no solutions if the regions that satisfy each inequality do not overlap at all; that is, they do not share any common area.
Given this information, let's analyze the provided graph descriptions:
-
First Graph: Two solid lines with marked regions.
-
Second Graph: Also two solid lines with marked regions.
-
Third Graph: A single solid line with marked regions.
-
Fourth Graph: Two dashed lines with four points plotted.
Analysis:
- The scenarios with two solid lines (first and second graphs) could potentially intersect or create overlapping regions, so they might have solutions.
- The single solid line (the third graph) may still provide a solution depending on the marked regions.
- The fourth graph with two dashed lines and four points does not typically provide insight into solutions by itself without knowing the inequalities represented and their relationships.
For a system of inequalities with no solutions, we’re particularly looking for a situation where:
- Both solid lines may indicate specific non-overlapping regions, which would be the most promising candidates for having no solution.
Conclusion:
Between the options provided:
- The most likely candidates for having no solutions are the first two graphs with two solid lines. If those two solid lines represent inequalities that do not overlap (e.g., one is \( y \leq mx + b \) and the other \( y \geq mx + c \) where \( b < c \)), then they create distinct regions that do not intersect.
Without the specific images or further context on the corresponding inequalities, a definitive answer can’t be provided, but the key takeaway is that you should look for graphs where solid lines create separate regions with no common area.
If you need further clarification based on specific graph arrangements or regions indicated, please provide that context for deeper analysis!
