a) No

b) Yes

1) Let's check algebraically whether (0,0) is the solution set

-2x +3y > 9 Plug into x and y the values of 0,0

-2(0) +3(0) > 9

0 > 9 FALSE! Since 0 can't be greater than 9

1.5x - y ≥ -4 Plug into x and y the values of 0,0

1.5(0) -0 ≥ -4

0 ≥ -4 True

2) Hence, point (0,0) verifies only the second equation.
