Solving a System of Linear Inequalities by Graphing

To solve a system of linear inequalities by graphing, follow a step-by-step procedure: First, graph the initial inequality by drawing its boundary line and shading the side where the inequality is true. Second, on the same coordinate grid, graph the subsequent inequality by drawing its boundary line and shading the corresponding true side. Third, locate the solution to the system, which is the region where the shaded areas overlap. Finally, verify the solution by choosing a test point from this overlapping region to check if it satisfies the inequalities.
