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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help! <3

Directrix (directrix):

Do you have a list of options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa.. (2, -1) (-3, 2) (-4, 0) (0, 6)

Directrix (directrix):

We're going to test points. I'll do the first, you the second, me the third, and then you.

Directrix (directrix):

Look what happened. Check my arithmetic. The x and y values of the point made the inequalities not true.

Directrix (directrix):

y > x + 4 y > -2x + 2 (2, -1) x = 2 and y = -1 -1 > 2 + 4 , -1 > 6 NO y > -2x + 2 -1> -2(2) + 2, -1> -4 +2, -1 > -2 YES

Directrix (directrix):

Are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaa!

Directrix (directrix):

It's your turn. My point did not lie in the solution set. You check (-3, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude i just need help!

Directrix (directrix):

Would you check and see if you wrote the problem down correctly and the options, too? Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are correct ?

Directrix (directrix):

I know that. That's what I am doing. I need you to check the problem and the answers you wrote at the top of the thread.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are correct, i checked them twice ..

Directrix (directrix):

Which point lies in the solution set for the following system of inequalities? y > x + 4 y > -2x + 2 Is that correct - check your book.

Directrix (directrix):

You checked the options twice? (2, -1) (-3, 2) (-4, 0) (0, 6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is.... i checked like 5 times already..

Directrix (directrix):

y > x + 4 You substitute -3 in for x and 2 in for y and see what happens with this inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,,

Directrix (directrix):

It's okay if what you write is wrong. It's okay if it's correct. We're testing points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok give me a sec..

Directrix (directrix):

Don't run off, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer for (-3,2) is 2>1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for (0,6) the answer is 6>4

Directrix (directrix):

On (0,6) we have to test both equations y = 6, x = 0 (y > x + 4) and (y > -2x + 2 ) 6 > 0 + 4 YES 6> -2(0) +2 Yes so the point is (0, 6) --> Answer

Directrix (directrix):

Question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which one is the answer? because i have to go..

Directrix (directrix):

so the point is (0, 6) --> Answer
