Answer:
(10, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequalities are:
y < x - 7 (1)
y < (1/5)x - 2 (2)
To solve this problem, we have to solve both equations simultaneously and then find the value of x and y that makes the inequality true.
To solve the inequality, subtract inequality (2) from inequality (1) which gives:
0 < (4/5) x - 5
-(4/5)x < -5
Dividing both sides of the equation by -4/5 gives:
-(4/5)x / (-4/5) < -5/ (-4/5)
x > 6.25
Put x > 6.2 in inequality 1
y < 6.25 - 7
y < -0.75
The solution of the inequality is x > 6.25 and y < -0.75
From the list of option, the correct answer is (10, -2) since 10 > 6.25 and -2 < -0.75
