Question

Which of the following points lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities?

y less than or greater to x - 5
y greater than or equal to -x - 4

(-5, 2)

(5, -2)

(-5, -2)

(5, 2)

Answer 1

(-5, 2) 2 does not equal -10 and 2 is greater than 1 so this works
(5, -2) -2 does not equal 0 and -2 is greater than -9 so this works
(-5,-2) -2 does not equal -10 and -2 is less than 1 so this doesn't
(5, 2) 2 does not equal 0 and 2 is greater than -9 so this works
