Question

Determine whether the point (4,2) is in the solution set of the system of inequalities below. 4x + y < 2 y > –2

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

4x + y < 2

y > –2

Substitute the point into the inequalities and see if they are true

4(4) + 2 < 2

16+2 < 2

18 <2 False

2 > –2 True

Since one is false the point is not a solution
