To determine which point is a solution to the given system of linear inequalities, we will evaluate each of the given points against both inequalities:
1. \( y \leq -\frac{2}{3}x - 2 \)
2. \( -2y \geq -\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \) (which can be rewritten as \( y \leq \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{1}{2} \))
Now let's evaluate each point:
### Option A: \( (6, -5) \)
1. \( -5 \leq -\frac{2}{3}(6) - 2 \)
- Calculating right side:
\[ -\frac{2}{3}(6) = -4 \]
\[ -4 - 2 = -6 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( -5 \leq -6 \) (FALSE)
### Option B: \( (0, -1) \)
1. \( -1 \leq -\frac{2}{3}(0) - 2 \)
- Right side:
\[ -0 - 2 = -2 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( -1 \leq -2 \) (FALSE)
### Option C: \( (-6, -7) \)
1. \( -7 \leq -\frac{2}{3}(-6) - 2 \)
- Right side:
\[ -\frac{2}{3}(-6) = 4 \]
\[ 4 - 2 = 2 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( -7 \leq 2 \) (TRUE)
2. \(-2(-7) \geq -\frac{1}{2}(-6) - 1\)
- Left side: \( 14 \)
- Right side:
\[ -\frac{1}{2}(-6) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( 14 \geq 2 \) (TRUE)
### Option D: \( (-12, 5) \)
1. \( 5 \leq -\frac{2}{3}(-12) - 2 \)
- Right side:
\[ -\frac{2}{3}(-12) = 8 \]
\[ 8 - 2 = 6 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( 5 \leq 6 \) (TRUE)
2. \(-2(5) \geq -\frac{1}{2}(-12) - 1\)
- Left side: \( -10 \)
- Right side:
\[ -\frac{1}{2}(-12) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 \]
- So, the inequality becomes \( -10 \geq 5 \) (FALSE)
### Conclusion
The only point that satisfies both inequalities is \( (-6, -7) \).
**The correct answer is:** \( \text{Option C: } (-6, -7) \).
1. \( y \leq -\frac{2}{3}x - 2 \)
2. \( -2y \geq -\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \) (which can be rewritten as \( y \leq \frac{1}{4}x + \frac{1}{2} \))
