The diagram shows the lines y = 2x + 1 and x + y = 2. [Figure for 17 shows a graph with two lines drawn]

  1. (a)The region R is defined by these three inequalities. y ≤ 2x+1 x+y≤2 y≥-2 On the diagram, shade and label the region R.[2]
  2. (b)The point (k, k-2) lies in the region R where k is an integer. List the possible values of k.[2]
