Answer:

The point which will lie in the solution set to the following system of inequalities is:

(2,5)

Explanation:

The system of inequality is given by:

y>-3x+3--------(1)

and y>x+2----------(2)

Now, the point that will lie in the solution set to the following system of inequality are the point that satisfies both the inequality.

a)

(2,-5)

when x=2 and y= -5

then by first inequality we have:

-5>-3×2+3

i.e.

-5>-6+3

i.e.

-5>-3

which is a false identity.

This means that the point will not lie in the solution set.

b)

(-2,5)

when x= -2 and y=5

then by first inequality we have:

5>-3×(-2)+3

i.e.

5>6+3

i.e.

5>9

which is a false identity.

Hence, option: b is incorrect.

c)

(2,5)

when x=2 and y=5

then by first inequality:

5>-3×2+3

i.e. 5>-6+3

i.e. 5>-3

which is true

and by second identity:

5>2+2

i.e. 5>4

which is again true.

Hence, (2,5) lie in the solution set.

d)

(-2,-5)

when x= -2 and y= -5

then by first inequality we have:

-5>-3×(-2)+3

i.e.

-5>6+3

i.e.

-5>9

which is a false identity.

Hence, the point (-2,-5) do not lie in the solution set.
