Start with the given system of inequalities

In order to graph this system of inequalities, we need to graph each inequality one at a time.

First lets graph the first inequality
In order to graph , we need to graph the equation (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver )

graph of
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality with the test point

Substitute (0,0) into the inequality
Plug in and
Simplify

Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire region that contains (0,0)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Now lets graph the second inequality
In order to graph , we need to graph the equation (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver )

graph of
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality with the test point

Substitute (0,0) into the inequality
Plug in and
Simplify

Since this inequality is not true, we do not shade the entire region that contains (0,0). So this means we shade the region that is on the opposite side of the line
Graph of with the boundary (which is the line in red) and the shaded region (in green)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Now lets graph the third inequality
In order to graph , we need to graph the equation (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver )

graph of
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,1). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality with the test point

Substitute (0,0) into the inequality
Plug in and
Simplify

Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire region that contains (0,0)
Graph of with the boundary (which is the line in red) and the shaded region (in green)

---------------------------------------------------------------

So we essentially have these 3 regions:

Region #1
Graph of

Region #2
Graph of

Region #3
Graph of

When these inequalities are graphed on the same coordinate system, the regions overlap to produce this region. It's a little hard to see, but after evenly shading each region, the intersecting region will be the most shaded in. (note: for some reason, this image and the following image does not display in Internet Explorer. So I would recommend the use of Firefox to see these images.)

Here is a cleaner look at the intersection of regions

Here is the intersection of the 3 regions represented by the series of dots
