The question, in short

On a grid with x from −5 to 7 and y from −3 to 8, shade the unwanted regions and label the region R satisfying y > 1, x ≤ 2 and y ≥ x + 2.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Draw y = 1 as a broken line (y > 1 is strict)
  2. 2Draw x = 2 as a solid vertical line
  3. 3Draw y = x + 2 as a solid line through (−2, 0), (0, 2) and (2, 4)
  4. 4Shade below y = 1, right of x = 2 and below y = x + 2; label the unshaded region above y = 1 and y = x + 2, left of x = 2, as R

AnswerBroken line y = 1, solid line x = 2, solid line y = x + 2; R is the unshaded region with y > 1, x ≤ 2 and y ≥ x + 2, labelled R
