Question

Is the point (0,4) a solution to the system

of inequalities below?
y<-3.x +4
y> 5x – 2

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

To determine if the point is a solution to either of the inequalities, substitute the variables with the point given. When y<-3.x+4 is substituted with (0,4), the inequality becomes 4<4, which proves that the point is inapplicable to the first inequality. Therefore, you do not need to continue to check its applicability with the second inequality.
