Multiple Choice Answers

left parenthesis, 0, comma, minus, 3, right parenthesis(0,−3)

left parenthesis, 0, comma, minus, 10, right parenthesis(0,−10)

left parenthesis, 0, comma, 9, right parenthesis(0,9)

left parenthesis, 6, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis(6,−4)

Solution

To determine which point is a solution to the system of linear inequalities, we need to test each of the given points in the two inequalities:

  1. Inequality 1: y>2x+2y > 2x + 2
  2. Inequality 2: y>56x+6y > -\frac{5}{6}x + 6

Testing Each Point:

(0, -3)

  1. For y>2x+2y > 2x + 2: 3>2(0)+2    3>2(False)-3 > 2(0) + 2 \implies -3 > 2 \quad \text{(False)} This point does not satisfy the first inequality.

(0, -10)

  1. For y>2x+2y > 2x + 2: 10>2(0)+2    10>2(False)-10 > 2(0) + 2 \implies -10 > 2 \quad \text{(False)} This point does not satisfy the first inequality.

(0, 9)

  1. For y>2x+2y > 2x + 2: 9>2(0)+2    9>2(True)9 > 2(0) + 2 \implies 9 > 2 \quad \text{(True)}
  2. For y>56x+6y > -\frac{5}{6}x + 6: 9>56(0)+6    9>6(True)9 > -\frac{5}{6}(0) + 6 \implies 9 > 6 \quad \text{(True)} This point satisfies both inequalities.

(6, -4)

  1. For y>2x+2y > 2x + 2: 4>2(6)+2    4>14(False)-4 > 2(6) + 2 \implies -4 > 14 \quad \text{(False)} This point does not satisfy the first inequality.

Conclusion:

The only point that satisfies both inequalities is (0, 9).

Final Answer:

(0, 9)
