To determine which of the given points is a solution to the inequality \( y > 19x - 29 \), we can substitute the \( x \) and \( y \) values from each point into the inequality and check if it holds true.

The inequality in terms of \( x \) and \( y \) is:

\[ y > 19x - 29 \]

Let's evaluate each option by substituting \( x = 0 \) into the inequality.

  1. Point (0, -13): \[ -13 > 19(0) - 29 \implies -13 > -29 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  2. Point \( \left(0, -\frac{1}{3}\right) \): \[ -\frac{1}{3} > 19(0) - 29 \implies -\frac{1}{3} > -29 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  3. Point (0, -19): \[ -19 > 19(0) - 29 \implies -19 > -29 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  4. Point \( \left(0, -\frac{4}{9}\right) \): \[ -\frac{4}{9} > 19(0) - 29 \implies -\frac{4}{9} > -29 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  5. Point (0, -29): \[ -29 > 19(0) - 29 \implies -29 > -29 \quad \text{(False)} \]

Based on the evaluations, all points except (0, -29) satisfy the inequality \( y > 19x - 29 \). Therefore, the solutions to the inequality are:

  • (0, -13)
  • \( \left(0, -\frac{1}{3}\right) \)
  • (0, -19)
  • \( \left(0, -\frac{4}{9}\right) \)

Hence, any of the first four points can be considered a solution, but the first four options listed are valid responses.
