Answers:

(4, 3)

(6, 0)

(3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

An ordered pair is a solution to the system of inequalities if when we replace x and y, the ordered pair satisfies both equations.

So, for (4, 3), we get:

y ≤ 5x - 4

3 ≤ 5(4) - 4

3 ≤ 20 - 4

3 ≤ 16

y ≥ -2x - 1

3 ≥ -2(4) - 1

3 ≥ -8 - 1

3 ≥ -9

Therefore, (4, 3) is a solution of the system since 3 is less than 16 and 3 is greater than -9.

For (6, 0), we get:

y ≤ 5x - 4

0 ≤ 5(6) - 4

0 ≤ 30 - 4

0 ≤ 26

y ≥ -2x - 1

0 ≥ -2(6) - 1

0 ≥ -12 - 1

0 ≥ -13

Therefore, (6, 0) is a solution of the system

For (-4, -3), we get:

y ≤ 5x - 4

-3 ≤ 5(-4) - 4

-3 ≤ -20 - 4

-3 ≤ -24

Since -3 is greater than -24, (-4, -3) is not a solution to the system.

For (1, 3), we get:

y ≤ 5x - 4

3 ≤ 5(1) - 4

3 ≤ 5 - 4

3 ≤ 1

Since 3 is greater than 1, (1, 3) is not a solution to the system.

Finally, for (3, -1), we get:

y ≤ 5x - 4

-1 ≤ 5(3) - 4

-1 ≤ 15 - 4

-1 ≤ 11

y ≥ -2x - 1

-1 ≥ -2(3) - 1

-1 ≥ - 6 - 1

-1 ≥ -7

Therefore, (3, -1) is a solution to the system.
