00:0-1 to solve the given system of inequalities . We start
00:03 by graphing the associated equation for each inequality . In
00:09 other words , we graph y equals negative 1/5 X
00:13 plus one , and Y equals three X plus two
00:19 . So for the first inequality we start with our
00:23 y intercept of positive one Up one Unit on the
00:27 Y Axis . From there we take our slope of
00:31 negative 1/5 So we go down one and to the
00:35 right five and plot a second point . Now notice
00:40 that our inequality uses a less than sign . This
00:45 means that we draw a dotted line connecting the points
00:49 rather than a solid line . It's important to understand
00:54 that if we have a greater than sign or a
00:56 less than sign , we use a dotted line and
01:01 if we have a greater than or equal to sign
01:03 or less than or equal to sign , we use
01:07 a solid line . Pay close attention to this idea
01:12 when drawing your lines , Students often carelessly use a
01:17 solid line when they should use a dotted one and
01:21 vice versa . Next let's take a look at our
01:26 second inequality , which has a Y intercept of positive
01:30 . Too Up two units on the y axis .
01:34 From there we take our slope of three or 3/1
01:39 , so we go up three and to the right
01:42 one and plot a second point and notice that this
01:46 inequality uses a greater than or equal to sign .
01:52 So we connect the points with a solid line rather
01:56 than a dotted line . Next , we need to
01:59 determine which side of each of these lines to shade
02:04 on the graph to determine which side of our first
02:09 line . To shade . We use a test point
02:12 on either side of the first line . The easiest
02:16 test point to use is 00 . So we plug
02:20 zero into our first inequality for both X and Y
02:25 And we have zero is less than negative . 1
02:29 5th Time zero Plus 1 , which simplifies to zero
02:35 is less than zero plus one Or zero is less
02:39 than one . Notice that zero is less than one
02:44 is a true statement . This means that our test
02:48 zero is a solution to the first inequality . So
02:54 we shade in the direction of 00 along our first
02:59 boundary line . Next we determine which side of our
03:04 second line . To shade By using a test point
03:07 on either side of the 2nd line , Such as
03:11 00 . Plugging a zero into our second inequality for
03:17 both X and Y , we have zero is greater
03:21 than or equal to three times zero plus two ,
03:26 which simplifies to zero is greater than or equal to
03:29 zero plus two , Or zero is greater than or
03:33 equal to two . Notice that zero is greater than
03:37 or equal to two is a false statement . This
03:41 means that our test zero is not a solution to
03:46 the inequality , So we shade away from 00 along
03:52 our second boundary line . Finally , it's important to
03:57 understand that the solution to this system of inequalities is
04:01 represented by the part of the graph where the two
04:05 shaded regions overlap , which in this case is in
04:09 the lower left . In other words , any point
04:14 that lies in this part of the graph is a
04:16 solution to the given system of inequalities . Note that
04:21 the points along the dotted boundary line of this region
04:25 are not solutions to the system , but the points
04:29 along the solid boundary line of this region are solutions
04:33 to the system .
