Solution
To determine which point is a solution to the system of inequalities:
we will test each of the given points by substituting the coordinates into both inequalities and check if both inequalities are satisfied.
1. Point
- For : This is false because .
2. Point
- For : This is false because .
3. Point
- For : This is false because .
4. Point
-
For : This is true because .
-
For : This is true because .
Conclusion:
The point satisfies both inequalities, so it is the solution.
