1. The problem asks to find the three inequalities that define the shaded triangular region bounded by the lines shown on the graph.
2. From the graph description, the boundaries are:
- A vertical line at $x=5$
- A horizontal line at $y=3$
- A slanting line passing through points $(1,1)$ and $(5,7)$
3. The inequalities must describe the region inside the triangle formed by these lines.
4. For the vertical line $x=5$, the shaded region is to the left, so the inequality is:
$$x \leq 5$$
5. For the horizontal line $y=3$, the shaded region is above, so the inequality is:
$$y \geq 3$$
6. For the slanting line through $(1,1)$ and $(5,7)$, first find its equation:
The slope $m = \frac{7-1}{5-1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$
Equation in point-slope form:
$$y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 1)$$
Simplify:
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{3}{2} + 1 = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}$$
7. The shaded region is below this line, so the inequality is:
$$y \leq \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}$$
8. Therefore, the three inequalities defining the shaded region are:
$$x \leq 5$$
$$y \geq 3$$
$$y \leq \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}$$
9. The inequalities you wrote, $5 \leq 6$, $3 \leq 2$, and $5 \geq 2$, are not related to the graph or the shaded region and are incorrect.
Final answer:
$$x \leq 5, \quad y \geq 3, \quad y \leq \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{2}$$
