ECZ 2013 · O-Level Paper 1 — Linear Programming

In the diagram, R is the unshaded region. Which three inequalities describe the region R?

Diagram for ECZ 2013 · O-Level Paper 1
  • A. x >= 0, y <= -x, y >= x + 8
  • B. x <= 0, y >= -x, y <= x + 8
  • C. x <= 0, y <= -x, y >= x + 8
  • D. x >= 0, y >= -x, y <= x + 8

Verified working — step 1

The y-axis is shaded on its right, so x <= 0. The line through (0, 0) and (-4, 4) is y = -x, shaded below, so y >= -x. The line through (-8, 0) and (-4, 4) is y = x + 8, shaded above, so y < = …
