1. Problem Description
The problem asks how Stephanie can determine if the point is a solution to the system of inequalities and .
2. Solution Steps
To determine if a point is a solution to a system of inequalities, substitute the and values of the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution to the system.
In this case, the point is , so and .
First, substitute these values into :
This inequality is true.
Next, substitute the values into :
This inequality is false.
Since the point satisfies but does not satisfy , it is not a solution to the system.
The correct method to determine if the point is a solution to the system of inequalities is to substitute the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies both inequalities, it is a solution.
3. Final Answer
A. She could substitute 3 for x and -4 for y in each inequality. If the point satisfies both inequalities, it lies in the region that is a solution. Otherwise, it does not.
