Math Problem Statement

Is (-2, -8) a solution to this system of inequalities? y ≤ 6x + 4 y ≤ -x - 10

Solution

Yes, the point (2,8)(-2, -8) is a solution to the system of inequalities. It satisfies both inequalities:

  1. y6x+4y \leq 6x + 4
  2. yx10y \leq -x - 10

Would you like more details on how the point was tested, or do you have any other questions?

Here are some related questions you might want to explore:

  1. What are systems of inequalities and how are they solved graphically?
  2. How do we interpret the solution set for a system of inequalities?
  3. Can there be no solution to a system of inequalities?
  4. How do systems of inequalities differ from systems of equations?
  5. How would the solution set change if we changed one of the inequalities?

Tip: Always substitute the values of xx and yy into both inequalities to check if they satisfy the conditions simultaneously.
