Chapter 6 Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
From the table, it is found that only points from region B satisfy both the inequalities that are tested.
Thus, region B satisfies the inequalities x + y р 8 and y у 3.

8 x + y = 7 y = 43x + 2
Based on the diagram, determine the region that satisfies the
inequalities y р 3 x + 2 and x + y у 7.
