Question : 44
Total: 65
x + y ≤ 9, y > x, x ≥ 0
Solution:  
The inequalities are x + y ≤ 9, y > x and x ≥ 0
(i) Consider the inequality x + y ≤ 9
The line l1 : x + y = 9 passes through (9, 0) and (0, 9). AB represents this line.
Putting x = 0, y = 0 in x + y ≤ 9 ⇒ 0 + 0 = 0 ≤ 9, which is true.

Origin lies in this region. i.e., x + y ≤ 9 represents the area below the line AB and all the points lying on x + y = 9.
(ii) The line l2 : y = x, passes through the origin and (2, 2).
∴ CD represents the line y = x
Consider the inequality y – x > 0
Putting x = 0, y = 1 in y – x > 0
1 – 0 > 0, which is true.
∴ (0, 1) lies in this region.
The inequality y > x is represented by the region above the line CD, excluding all the points lying on y – x = 0.
(iii) The region x > 0 lies on the right of y-axis.
∴ The common region of the inequalities is the region bounded by ΔPQO is the solution of x + y ≤ 9, y > x, x > 0.
