Answer:

Coordinates to make it true: (2, 4)

Coordinates to make it false: (4, 2)

Explanation:

There can be multiple answers to this problem. In order to solve, you will need to use trial and error to find 'x' and 'y' values to put into the inequality to make the statement both true and then false. For the given inequality: 5x - 2y < 11, finding coordinates means finding a set of (x, y) values that you will put into the equation and solve to see if the number you get is less than 11. Using the coordinates (2, 4), x = 2 and y = 4. Put these values into the inequality: 5(2) - 2(4) < 11 or 10 - 8 < 11 or 2 < 11, this statement is true. However, if we use the coordinates (4, 2) where x = 4 and y = 2, we can put these values into the inequality: 5(4) - 2(2) < 11 or 20 - 4 < 11 or 16 < 11. This statement is false.

Answer: x=1 y=1


Step-by-step explanation: as long as the product is less than 11, it works.
