Question

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between the point (5,-20) and the system of

Answer 1

Answer: The point (5,-20) only satisfies the second inequality statement in the system of inequalities shown.

Step-by-step explanation:

It isn't super clear exactly what you're asking, but the first thing we can do is see if the point (5, -20) satisfies the system of equations.

So, we start by plugging in -20 for y and 5 for x.

y > -2x-3

-20 > (-2)(5) - 3

-20 > -10-3

-20 > -13. - we can see that the coordinates DO NOT satisfy the first inequality, now we can try the second equation.

y ≤ 3x + 2

-20 ≤ 3(5) + 2

-20 ≤ 15 +2

-20 ≤ 17 - this inequality is true because -20 is indeed less than 17.
