Question

Which point is in the solution set of this system inequalities?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequalities we can simply plug in the x and y values of the ordered pairs into the inequalities and if the equation is true for both inequalities then the ordered pair is a solution to the inequalities.

For (0,0)

x = 0

y = 0

y > x + 5

Substitute 0 for y and x

0 > 0 + 5

Simplify right side

0 > 5

The inequality is not true as 5 is greater than 0, not less than. So immediately we can eliminate answer choice A.

For (5,1).

x = 5

y = 1

y > x + 5

Substitute 5 for x and 1 for y

1 > 5 + 5

Simplify right side

1 > 10

Again, the equation is not true as 1 is not greater than 10. This means that c cannot be the answer

For (3,7)

x = 3

y = 7

y > x + 5

Substitute 3 for x and y for 7

7 > 3 + 5

Simplify right side

7 > 8

7 is not greater than 8 meaning that (3,7) cannot be a solution to the inequalities

None of the ordered pairs created true equations hence the answer is B
