Neither (1, 1) nor (-1, 4) is a solution. Option C

To determine if the coordinates are solution to the inequality, we have to substitute the values of the x and y coordinates.

Then, we have that;

2x+5y<7

For (1,1)

x = 1

y = 1

Substitute the values

2(1) + 5(1) < 7

2 + 5 < 7, this is false

(-1,4)

The value of x = -1 and y = 4

2(-1) + 5(4) < 7

-2 + 20<7, this is false
