Answer

There are no ordered pairs (x,y) which would satisfy ALL the inequalities of the system.

Work Step by Step

Assuming that the system of inequalities is in two variables, and, also assuming that we know how to graph ONE inequality, we 1. Graph the solution set FOR EACH inequality of the solution 2. Determine if there is a region that is common to all solution sets from step (1) (their intersection) If it exists. it is the solution set for the system. If the common region in (2) does not exist, the system has no solution, meaning that there are no points (x,y) which would satisfy ALL the inequalities of the system.
