  1. 1Draw the vertical lines x = 1 and x = 3
  2. 2Draw the horizontal lines y = 2 and y = 3
  3. 3Draw y = x/2 + 1 through (0, 1), (2, 2) and (4, 3)
  4. 4R is the region between x = 1 and x = 3, between y = 2 and y = 3, and on or above y = x/2 + 1: vertices (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2.5), (3, 3), (1, 3); label it R

AnswerRegion R bounded by x = 1, x = 3, y = 2, y = 3 and y = x/2 + 1: vertices (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2.5), (3, 3), (1, 3), labelled R
