Answer:

(1, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

y > 2x

y > 7

To find an ordered pair that is a solution, we need to replace the values of x and y and determine if both inequalities are satisfied. So, for each option, we get:

(x, y) = (4, 8)

y > 2x

8 > 2(4)

8 > 8

Since 8 is not greater than 8, this is not the correct answer.

(x, y) = (1, 9)

y > 2x

9 > 2(1)

9 > 2

y > 7

9 > 7

Then, (1, 9) is a solution to the system.
