Two Shadings Overlap
Part of the Graphs & Systems section of Coddy's Algebra journey. Lesson 47 of 64.
Two inequalities asked together shade two half-planes, and the solutions of the system live where the shadings overlap. For y > x - 2; y <= -x + 4 the overlap is the wedge above the first line and on-or-below the second.
One shading of the pair; the solution is where both hold
Each boundary keeps its own fence rule, one dashed and one solid here, and a point solves the system only when it satisfies every inequality at once, the "and" of chapter logic drawn as a region.
Challenge
MediumShade the system y > x - 1; y < -x + 3: both conditions, one picture.
