Solution

To determine which point satisfies both inequalities, let's analyze each inequality separately and then check the given points:

  1. y<x4y < -x - 4
  2. y>54x+1y > \frac{5}{4}x + 1

First, we will substitute each point into both inequalities to see if they satisfy the conditions.

Point (1, -8)

  1. y<x4y < -x - 4 8<14-8 < -1 - 4 8<5-8 < -5 (True)
  2. y>54x+1y > \frac{5}{4}x + 1 8>54(1)+1-8 > \frac{5}{4}(1) + 1 8>1.25+1-8 > 1.25 + 1 8>2.25-8 > 2.25 (False)

Point (6, 5)

  1. y<x4y < -x - 4 5<645 < -6 - 4 5<105 < -10 (False)
  2. y>54x+1y > \frac{5}{4}x + 1 5>54(6)+15 > \frac{5}{4}(6) + 1 5>7.5+15 > 7.5 + 1 5>8.55 > 8.5 (False)

Point (-6, -3)

  1. y<x4y < -x - 4 3<64-3 < 6 - 4 3<2-3 < 2 (True)
  2. y>54x+1y > \frac{5}{4}x + 1 3>54(6)+1-3 > \frac{5}{4}(-6) + 1 3>7.5+1-3 > -7.5 + 1 3>6.5-3 > -6.5 (True)

Point (-2, 3)

  1. y<x4y < -x - 4 3<243 < 2 - 4 3<23 < -2 (False)
  2. y>54x+1y > \frac{5}{4}x + 1 3>54(2)+13 > \frac{5}{4}(-2) + 1 3>2.5+13 > -2.5 + 1 3>1.53 > -1.5 (True)

Based on this analysis, the point that satisfies both inequalities is:

(6,3)\boxed{(-6, -3)}

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are 5 additional questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you solve systems of linear equations?
  2. What are the properties of linear inequalities?
  3. Can you explain how to graph inequalities on a coordinate plane?
  4. How do you determine the feasible region for a system of inequalities?
  5. What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

Tip: When graphing inequalities, always start by graphing the boundary line, then use a test point to determine where to shade.
