To determine which points are part of the solution set for the inequality \( y \leq \frac{2}{5}x + 1 \), we first need to evaluate each point by substituting the x-value into the equation \( y = \frac{2}{5}x + 1 \) and then checking if the y-value of each point is less than or equal to the result.

  1. Point (5, 3):

    • Calculate \( y = \frac{2}{5}(5) + 1 \): \[ y = 2 + 1 = 3 \]
    • Since \( 3 \leq 3 \), the point (5, 3) is in the solution set.
  2. Point (10, 4):

    • Calculate \( y = \frac{2}{5}(10) + 1 \): \[ y = 4 + 1 = 5 \]
    • Since \( 4 \leq 5 \), the point (10, 4) is in the solution set.
  3. Point (10, 6):

    • Calculate \( y = \frac{2}{5}(10) + 1 \): \[ y = 5 \]
    • Since \( 6 \leq 5 \) is false, the point (10, 6) is not in the solution set.
  4. Point (10, 5.5):

    • Calculate \( y = \frac{2}{5}(10) + 1 \): \[ y = 5 \]
    • Since \( 5.5 \leq 5 \) is false, the point (10, 5.5) is not in the solution set.

In summary, the points that are part of the solution set for the inequality \( y \leq \frac{2}{5}x + 1 \) are:

  • (5, 3)
  • (10, 4)

So the answers are:

  • (5, 3)
  • (10, 4)
