The following statements are True: Both boundary lines are solid, A solution to the system is (1, 3) and The boundary lines intersect.
To determine which statements are true about the graph of the system of inequalities
and
, let's analyze each statement one by one.
1. The slope of one boundary line is 2:
To determine if this statement is true, we must look at the slopes of the boundary lines of each inequality. The slope-intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In the inequality
, the slope of the boundary line is 3. For the second inequality
, the slope of the boundary line is -1. Neither boundary line has a slope of 2, so this statement is False.
2. Both boundary lines are solid:
When an inequality is inclusive, which is indicated by
, the boundary line is drawn as a solid line on the graph. Since both inequalities
are inclusive (as indicated by the
), both boundary lines are indeed solid. This statement is True.
3. A solution to the system is (1, 3):
To determine if a given point is a solution to the system, we plug the values into both inequalities. For the point (1, 3), let's substitute x with 1 and y with 3:

(True)
For
:

(True)
Since (1, 3) satisfies both inequalities, this statement is True.
4. Both inequalities are shaded below the boundary lines:
When we shade the graph of an inequality, we shade below the line if the inequality is
and above the line if it is
. For the first inequality
, we would indeed shade below the boundary line. However, for the second inequality
, we would shade above the boundary line. Therefore, not both inequalities are shaded below their respective boundary lines, making this statement False.
5. The boundary lines intersect:
If two boundary lines have different slopes, they must intersect at some point unless they are vertical or horizontal lines that run parallel to the axes. Since the slopes of the boundary lines are 3 and -1, they are different and not parallel to any axis. Thus, the boundary lines must intersect somewhere on the graph. This statement is True.
