Question: Write the system of linear inequalities that defines the shaded region.



A ) - x + y > 0 and x + y > 0
B ) - y > 0 and x > 0
C ) - x > 0 and y > 0
D ) None of the above

Steps to derive

1 There are two lines that bound the shaded region. So, the system must have two linear inequalities.

2 Line (1) passes through the points (-1, -1) and (1, 1).

3 Slope of a line m = (y2-y1)(x2-x1)
 [Formula for slope.]

4 m = (1-(-1))(1-(-1)) = 1
 [Substitute coordinates in the formula.]

5 Since Line (1) crosses y-axis at the point (0, 0), its equation can be found using the slope-intercept form.

6 y = mx + b
 [Write slope-intercept form.]

7 - x + y = 0
 [Substitute 1 for m and 0 for b and simplify.]

8 Since the shaded region is above the dashed boundary line (1), the inequality is - x + y > 0.

9 Line (2) passes through the points (1, -1) and (-1, 1).

10 m = (1-(-1))(-1-1) = -1
 [Substitute the coordinates in the slope formula.]

11 Since Line (2) crosses y-axis at the point (0, 0), its equation can be found using the slope-intercept form.

12 y = mx + b
 [Write slope-intercept form.]

13 x + y = 0
 [Substitute -1 for m and 0 for b and simplify.]

14 Since the shaded region is above the dashed boundary line (2), the inequality is x + y > 0.

15 The system of inequalities that describes the shaded region is - x + y > 0 and x + y > 0.



Hence the right answer is Option A
