⇒To check if the given point (2,-8) is the solution to the system you should have a general knowledge that 2 is the input that is represented by variable x and -8 is the output variable represented by letter y.

⇒Now to check if the point is a solution we will have to check for both cases ....y<x-1 and .....y>-x+2

x=2 and y=-8 in the system y< x-1

LHS=-8

RHS=(2)-1

RHS=1

-8<1

The result is true for the first inequality

for the second system inequality

x=2 and y=-8

LHS=-8

RHS=-(2)+2

RHS=-2+2

RHS=0

-8<0 but in the inequality it is saying that -8>0 which is not true but False

⇒As a conclusion point (2,-8) is not a solution to the system as it does not apply to both the conditions.

⇒The answer is no.
