The system is

i)
y \leq (1)/(5) x
ii)
y\ \textgreater \ 4x-3

The solutions to this system, are all points (x, y) for which BOTH these 2 inequalities hold.

Check the points separately:

(5, 1)
i)
1 \leq (1)/(5) *5=1 True
ii)
1\ \textgreater \ 4*5-3=20-3=17 Not True

(0, 0)
i)
0 \leq (1)/(5) *0=0 True
ii)
0\ \textgreater \ 4*0-3=-3 True

(-2, -3)
i)
-3 \leq (1)/(5) (-2)= (-2)/(5)= -0.4 True
ii)
-3\ \textgreater \ 4(-2)-3=-8-3=-11 True

(2, 5)
i)
5 \leq (1)/(5)*2= (2)/(5) =0.4 Not True
ii)
5\ \textgreater \ 4*2-3=8-3=5 Not True


Answer: (0, 0) and (-2, -3)
