A(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation


\begin{gathered} y\ge-x+2 \\ y>x-5 \end{gathered}

to find this replace each pair in the inequalities and check if it is tru

Step 1

A(3,2)


\begin{gathered} y\ge-x+2 \\ 2\ge-3+2 \\ 2\ge-1,\text{ true} \\ and \\ y>x-5 \\ 2>3-5 \\ 2>-2,\text{true} \end{gathered}

Step 2

B(-5,-2)


\begin{gathered} y\ge-x+2 \\ -2\ge-(-5)+2 \\ -2\ge5+2 \\ -2\ge7\text{ False} \end{gathered}

Step 3

C(0,0)


\begin{gathered} y\ge-x+2 \\ 0\ge-0+2 \\ 0\ge2,false \end{gathered}

Step 4

D(-1,1)


\begin{gathered} y\ge-x+2 \\ 1\ge-(-1)+2 \\ 1\ge1+2 \\ 1\ge3,false \end{gathered}

so, the answer is A(3,2)
