Which point is a solution for the system of inequalities shown in the graph below?

Solution

To determine which point is a solution for the system of inequalities, we need to focus on the shaded region in the graph. The shaded region represents the area where both inequalities are satisfied.

The boundary lines in the graph divide the plane, and the shaded region where the two overlap represents the solution set for the system of inequalities.

Let's go through the points given in the options and check if they fall within the shaded region:

  • A. (4, 2): This point appears to be outside the shaded region.
  • B. (-4, -1): This point also seems to be outside the shaded region.
  • C. (2, 3): This point looks like it is inside the shaded region.
  • D. (1, -1): This point is outside the shaded region as well.

The point C. (2, 3) is the only point that lies within the shaded region, which means it satisfies both inequalities.

Final Answer:

C. (2, 3) is the correct answer.
