Answer:

No

Explanation:

To determine if (0, 2) is a solution, substitute the x and y coordinates into the left side of both inequalities and compare the result to the right side, thus

- 9(0) + 5(2) = 0 + 10 = 10 > - 6 ← not valid

4(0) - 8(2) = 0 - 16 = - 16 not < - 16 ← not valid

Thus (0, 2 ) is not a solution of the system
