Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which point satisfies the system of inequalities, we need to substitute each option into both inequalities and check if they hold true. Here are the inequalities:
Let's examine each answer choice by plugging in the coordinates.
Option Analysis
-
Point :
- For : (True)
- For : (True)
This point satisfies both inequalities.
-
Point :
- For : (False)
This point does not satisfy the first inequality, so it is not a solution.
-
Point :
- For : (False)
This point does not satisfy the first inequality, so it is not a solution.
-
Point :
- For : (True)
- For : (True)
This point satisfies both inequalities.
Conclusion
Both (-10, -2) and (10, -2) satisfy the inequalities.
If the question requires only one answer, choose (-10, -2) as the primary correct answer.

Tip: When dealing with inequalities, always double-check both the boundary (equality) condition and ensure the inequality direction is correctly interpreted when substituting values.
