Question

Determine whether each ordered pair is a solution to the system.

y > 3/4x − 7
x + 1/2y ≤ 8
(8,-4)

Answer 1

(8, -4) is NOT a solution

Explanation:

You want to know if (8, -4) is a solution to the system of inequalities ...

• y > 3/4x -7
• x +1/2y ≤ 8

Check

We can check to see if the offered point is a solution by trying the values in each inequality.

y > 3/4x -7

-4 > 3/4(8) -7

-4 > 6 -7

-4 > -1 . . . . . . . false

The given point (8, -4) is NOT a solution to the inequalities.
