\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First graph the two lines,

(Horizontal line through (0,-3)) and

, (Vertical line through (5,0)). Since you said the inequality signs are inclusive of equals (you should have written y>=-3 and x>=5 in this case), graph the two lines as solid lines to show inclusion of the ordered pairs forming the lines in the solution set of the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, since neither line passes through the origin, select the point (0,0) as your test point. Substitute zero for the variable in each of the inequalities. If you have a true statement, shade in the entire half-plane on the side of the line containing the point (0,0). If the inequality is false after substituting 0, shade in the half-plane on the side of the line that does NOT contain (0,0).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The quarter-plane region where the two shaded regions overlap is the solution set of the system.\r
