Final answer:

The answer is Yes, the point (-1, -1) is a solution to the linear inequality Y ≤ 3x + 2 because after substituting the point into the inequality, the inequality holds true as -1 is equal to -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked whether the point (-1, -1) is a solution to the linear inequality Y ≤ 3x + 2. To determine this, we can substitute the x and y values from the point into the inequality as follows:

Is -1 ≤ 3(-1) + 2?

This simplifies to:

-1 ≤ -3 + 2

-1 ≤ -1

Since -1 is equal to -1, the point (-1, -1) does indeed satisfy the inequality Y ≤ 3x + 2. Therefore, the correct answer to this question is Yes, the point is a solution to the inequality.
