Which point is a solution to the given system of inequalities in the -plane?
Explanation
Choice is correct, a point (x, y) is a solution to a system of inequalities in the -plane if substituting the coordinate and the -coordinate of the point for and , respectively, in each inequality makes both of the inequalities true. Substituting the -coordinate and the -coordinate of choice , and , for and , respectively, in the first inequality in the given system, , yields , or , which is true. Substituting for and for in the second inequality in the given system, , yields , or , which is true. Therefore, the point is a solution to the given system of inequalities in the -plane.
Choice is incorrect. Substituting for and for in the inequality yields , or , which is not true.
