1. The problem is to graph the solution regions for each system of linear inequalities from 15 to 24.
2. Each inequality represents a half-plane bounded by a line. The solution to the system is the intersection of these half-planes.
3. To graph each system:
- Convert each inequality to the line equation by replacing inequality with equality.
- Plot the boundary lines.
- Determine which side of each line satisfies the inequality by testing a point (usually the origin if not on the line).
- Shade the region that satisfies both inequalities.
4. For example, for problem 15:
- Inequalities: $y < 2x + 1$ and $y \leq -x - 4$
- Boundary lines: $y = 2x + 1$ and $y = -x - 4$
- Test point (0,0):
- For $y < 2x + 1$: $0 < 0 + 1$ true, so shade below $y=2x+1$ line.
- For $y \leq -x - 4$: $0 \leq 0 - 4$ false, so shade opposite side of $y=-x-4$ line.
- The solution is the intersection of these shaded regions.
5. Repeat this process for each system (16 to 24).
6. The graphs are sets of points $(x,y)$ satisfying both inequalities, forming polygonal or unbounded regions.
7. Since you requested graphs, here are the Desmos-ready functions for each system's boundary lines:
15: $y=2x+1$, $y=-x-4$
16: $y=3x-2$, $y=x-2$
17: $y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1$, $y=x+3$
18: $y=\frac{1}{3}x$, $y=-4x+1$
19: $2x+3y=5$, $y=2x-3$
20: $x+4y=3$, $x-y=2$
21: $y=0.3x+2$, $y=-0.2x+1$
22: $y=0.25x-4$, $y=-x-3$
23: $y=-2x-5$, $4x-y=3$
24: $-6x+4y=8$, $y=-x-1$
