Recall that an ordered pair is a solution of a system of inequalities if it satisfies each inequality.

Notice that:


6*(-(7)/(2))+5*(1)/(5)=-21+1=-20.

Since -20<-1, then the ordered pair:


(-(7)/(2),(1)/(5))

does not satisfy the first inequality.

Therefore, the given ordered pair does not satisfy the given system of inequalities.

Answer: No.
