Question

Which point lies in the solution set for the following system of inequalities?
y > x + 4
y > -2x + 2 

Choices:
(-4, 0) 
(-3, 2) 
(2, -1) 
(0, 6)

Plug in each point into both the inequalities and if the statement is true then those points satisfy the inequality.

ok

I'll do the first one for you.

(-4, 0)

y > x + 4
y > -2x + 2 

0 > -4 + 4 
0 > 0. This is false. Zero is not greater than zero 

0 > -2(-4) + 2
0 > -8 + 2
0 > -6 This is true. 

However, (-4, 0) Does NOT satisfy both inequalities; only one.
