Which graph represents x1x \geq -1 and y2y \leq 2?

A

Region right of x=-1 and below y=2

B

Region left of x=-1 and below y=2

C

Region right of x=-1 and above y=2

D

Region left of x=-1 and above y=2

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Intersect the two regions.

  1. x1x \geq -1: Right of vertical line x=1x=-1.
  2. y2y \leq 2: Below horizontal line y=2y=2.
  3. Intersection: Bottom-right quadrant formed by these lines.

?�� Strategic Tip:xx controls left/right, yy controls up/down.

Choice B is incorrect because it shades left (x1x \leq -1). Choice C is incorrect because it shades above (y2y \geq 2). Choice D is incorrect because it shades left and above.
