Step1: Analyze the slope of each inequality
For a system of linear inequalities \(y > mx + b\) and \(y < mx + c\) (where \(m\) is the slope), if the slopes are equal and the regions they define do not overlap, there is no solution. Let's rewrite each system in slope - intercept form (\(y=mx + b\)):
System 1: \(
\)
Rewrite the second inequality: \(y<2x + 3\). Both inequalities are the same. So the solution set is the region defined by \(y < 2x+3\), there are solutions.
System 2: \(
\)
The first inequality is \(y>2x + 1\) (slope \(m = 2\), y - intercept \(b_1=1\)) and the second is \(y<2x-4\) (slope \(m = 2\), y - intercept \(b_2=- 4\)). The region above \(y = 2x + 1\) and below \(y=2x - 4\) does not exist because for any \(x\), \(2x+1>2x - 4\) (since \(1>-4\)). So there is no \(y\) that can satisfy both inequalities.
System 3: \(
\)
Rewrite the first inequality: \(3y\geq - 2x + 12\Rightarrow y\geq-\frac{2}{3}x + 4\). The second inequality: \(5y<-x + 10\Rightarrow y<-\frac{1}{5}x+2\). The slopes are different (\(-\frac{2}{3}
eq-\frac{1}{5}\)), so the lines will intersect and there will be a region of overlap (solution set).
System 4: \(
\)
Rewrite the second inequality: \(y>x - 5\). Both inequalities are the same. So the solution set is the region defined by \(y>x - 5\), there are solutions.
