Use the standard form Cz≤d with unrestricted z=(x,y)T:
C=​−111​0−11​​,d=​01−2​​.
(1)
The nonnegative multiplier
w=​211​​​
(2)
satisfies CTw=0 and dTw=−1<0. This is a Farkas certificate for linear inequalities, so the system is infeasible by Farkas' lemma. In scalar form, adding twice the first inequality to the other two produces
0≤−1,​
(3)
which directly exhibits the contradiction.
