Question:

The solution set of inequality $2x+3y < 4$ is :

Options:

an open half-plane not containing the origin.

an open half plane containing the origin.

a closed half plane containing the origin.

the whole xy plane not containing the line $2x+3y = 4 $.

Correct Answer:

an open half plane containing the origin.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → an open half plane containing the origin.

$2x+3y < 4$

drawing graph

using $2x+3y=4$ at reference solution set

  x     2   0
y 0   4/3  

checking for (0, 0)

$2(0)+3(0)<4$

so solution region is on open half plane containing origin below space by line $2x+3y=4$
