Question

The point (–4, 2) is a solution of which to the following systems of inequalities?
y < 3x – 1
y > –x + 1

y > 3x – 1
y > –x + 1

y > 3x – 1
y < –x + 1

y < 3x – 1
y < –x + 1
help explain

Answer 1

Let's check the first choice

y < 3x - 1

2 < 3*(-4) - 1... plug in x = -4 and y = 2

2 < -12 -1

2 < -13 ... which is FALSE

so choice A is NOT the answer

Answer 2

you're going through each choice and verifying that the point (-4, 2) satisfies both inequalities

so keep going until you encounter two true statements at the end

Answer 3

does that make sense?

Answer 4

i got c?

Answer 5

same here, congrats
