Solutions of a System of Linear Inequalities
The solutions of a system of linear inequalities are the values of the variables that make every inequality within the system true simultaneously. On a graph, the solution of a system of linear inequalities is visually represented as a shaded region in the , coordinate system that encompasses all the points whose ordered pairs satisfy the inequalities.
