Question 85721
20.



Start with the given system of inequalities

{{{x<=5}}}




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


So lets graph the first inequality


    In order to graph {{{x<=5}}} we need to graph the equation {{{x=5}}} (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign). So lets graph the line {{{x=5}}} (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Linear-equations/graphing-linear-equations.solver>solver<a>)

    {{{graph( 400, 300, -5, 10, -10, 10,1000(x-5000/1000))}}} graph of {{{x=5}}}

    Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0) (any point will work, but this point is the easiest to work with), and evaluate the inequality {{{x<=5}}}

     {{{(0)<=5}}} Plug in x=0, y=0


     {{{0<=5}}} Simplify



Since this inequality is true, we shade the entire region containing (0,0)



{{{drawing( 400, 300, -5, 10, -10, 10,graph( 400, 300, -5, 10, -10, 10,10000(x-5000/1000), 10000(x-5000/1000+0)),

 Here is the graph of {{{x<=5}}} with the graph of the line({{{x=5}}}) in red and the shaded region in green 

(note: In this case, the red line is a solid line. This means the boundaries are included in the region.)
