The question, in short

A triangular area is shaded on a grid bounded by x = 5, y = 3 and a line passing through (0, 1) and (6, 7). State the three inequalities that describe this region.

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

Solution · 3 marks

  1. 1The region is to the left of x = 5: x ≤ 5
  2. 2It is above y = 3: y ≥ 3
  3. 3The sloping line through (0, 1) and (6, 7) has gradient 1 and y-intercept 1: y = x + 1
  4. 4The region is below it: y ≤ x + 1

Answerx ≤ 5 y ≥ 3 y ≤ x + 1
