For the following system of inequalities, which quadrant of the graph should be shaded?
y > x - 2 and y > -1/2x - 2
**
The 1st equation, y=x-2, is a line with a slope of 1 and y-intercept=2
The 2nd equation, y=x/2-2, is a line with a slope of 1/2 and y-intercept=-2
In accordance with both inequalities, the area above, but not including the line, should be shaded. As a result,parts of each of the four quadrants are shaded.
