Question

Determine which point is a solution of the linear inequality.2x + 5y< 1(5,2) (-3,1) (-2,1) (6,-2)

Answer 1

We want to find which point is a solution for the inequality

`2x+5y<1`

To find the solution, we just have to evaluate the given points on this inequality and see which one satisfies the inequality. To evaluate the points we simply replace all the variables with whatever value it has been assigned.

For the first point, (5, 2) for example, we have
