Question

Which point lies in the solution set for the following system of inequalities?
y < 2x + 4
y < -2x + 2

(1, 0)

(-5, -2)

(0, -3)

(-1, 5)

Answer 1

One way is to test the values. Plug in x,y into both equations and figure out which one will confirm both the inequalities.

Answer 2

Example - point (1,0) results in:
0 < 2*1+4 (true)
0 < -2*1 + 2 (false)
So, this point does not satisfy.
