Multiple Choice Answers

left parenthesis, 12, comma, 5, right parenthesis(12,5)

left parenthesis, 6, comma, minus, 7, right parenthesis(6,−7)

left parenthesis, 10, comma, 10, right parenthesis(10,10)

left parenthesis, 10, comma, 8, right parenthesis(10,8)

Solution

To determine which point is not a solution to the system of linear inequalities:

  1. System of inequalities:

    • y>x8y > x - 8
    • y>x+8y > -x + 8
  2. Approach: Each point must satisfy both inequalities to be a solution. We will substitute each point into both inequalities to see if they satisfy them.


Evaluate each point:

(12, 5):

  • For y>x8y > x - 8: 5>1285 > 12 - 85>45 > 4 (True)
  • For y>x+8y > -x + 8: 5>12+85 > -12 + 85>45 > -4 (True)
  • (12, 5) satisfies both inequalities.

(6, −7):

  • For y>x8y > x - 8: 7>68-7 > 6 - 87>2-7 > -2 (False)
  • For y>x+8y > -x + 8: 7>6+8-7 > -6 + 87>2-7 > 2 (False)
  • (6, −7) does not satisfy the inequalities.

(10, 10):

  • For y>x8y > x - 8: 10>10810 > 10 - 810>210 > 2 (True)
  • For y>x+8y > -x + 8: 10>10+810 > -10 + 810>210 > -2 (True)
  • (10, 10) satisfies both inequalities.

(10, 8):

  • For y>x8y > x - 8: 8>1088 > 10 - 88>28 > 2 (True)
  • For y>x+8y > -x + 8: 8>10+88 > -10 + 88>28 > -2 (True)
  • (10, 8) satisfies both inequalities.

Conclusion:

The point (6,7)(6, -7) does not satisfy the system of inequalities, making it the correct answer.
