Question

Please help!! Which of the following is a solution to one of the inequalities graphed below but not a solution to the entire system?

Select one:
A. (4, -3)
B. (-1,-5)
C. (4, -2)
D. (3, 1)

Answer 1

B. (-1,-5)

Explanation:

In this graph, the darkest portion represents where the two inequalities intersect with each other. The areas with lighter shading is a solution of one of the inequalities.

From the question we can see that we are looking for which point ends up in the light grey area.

A. (4,-3) White

B. (-1,-5) Light Grey

C. (4,-2) White (This point lies on the inequalities's line. As this line is dotted, the points on it are not included, so this one is white.)

D. (3,1) Dark Grey.

As B is the only one that lies in the light grey area, this is the only correct answer.
