standard_description: Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.
problem_activity: Given below are the graphs of two lines,
$${y = 0.5x + 5}$$
and
$${y = -1.25x + 8}$$
, and several regions and points are shown. Note that C is the region that appears completely white in the graph.
[IMG]
For each region and point, write a system of equations or inequalities that has the region or point as its solution set.
Verify that a point that lies in region A satisfies the system of inequalities that you wrote for region A.
Without choosing any specific numbers, explain how you know that all the points in quadrant 3 must satisfy the inequalities for region A.
