Answer:

(1, 5)

Explanation:

You need a point in the shaded region that is not on the line of the graph.

The points can't be on the line because the line is a dotted line, which means there is either a < or > sign in the inequality, so the solutions are strictly less than or greater than the values on the line.

Points A and B are on line so they aren't solutions.

Point (5, -5) is below the line, so that isn't a solution for this equation either

Point (1, 5) is in the shaded region, so it's a solution
