Question

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

(1, 6)
(-2, -1)
(-3, 2)
(1, 1)

Answer 1

plug those points in and find out whether it fits for yourself

Answer 2

well if i could i would. i obviously dont know how.

Answer 3

Just set x=1 and see if y fits the inequalities:
E.g.:
(1,6):
6 > 1 + 4 TRUE
6 > -1 + 2 TRUE

Seems like we found it already ;)

Answer 4

(a,b) means x=a, y=b
for example (1,6), x=1, y=6
is 6>1+4 and 6>-1+2 both right at the same time?
then it is in the solution set

Answer 5

so its 1,6 ? can u explain a lil more ?

Answer 6

well it is true for (1,6)
i don't understand what you don't understand

Answer 7

yeah it is (1,6)

Answer 8

If I read the question, there is only one point of which the coordinates (x and y) make both inequalities true.

I picked the first point, and it made them both true, so I think we are done.

Could just as well have been one of the others, though...
