Question 14138: Hi Tutors:
I am so lost over this one. Please help me:
Find the intersection point (if there is one) and graph shading the appropriate areas:
x+y >=0 and 2x+y<=4

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
intersection point is where the 2 equations are the SAME...they are equal at that point... the (x,y) of one equation is the same as the (x,y) of the other.

so, we have
x+y = 0 and
2x+y = 4

ignore the < and > for now...we are interested in where they ARE equal.

so sub 1 equation into the other and solve. Find the other variable afterwards.


Sketch the graph then... look at my lessons on sketching linear equations and also anything i have on inequalities too.
