To determine which points are solutions to the linear inequality \( y > \frac{1}{9}x - \frac{2}{9} \), we can substitute the x-coordinates of each point into the inequality and see if the resulting y-coordinate is greater than the expression on the right-hand side.

The inequality is:

\[ y > \frac{1}{9}x - \frac{2}{9} \]

For x = 0, the inequality simplifies to:

\[ y > \frac{1}{9}(0) - \frac{2}{9} \implies y > -\frac{2}{9} \]

Now we check each given point:

  1. Point (0, -49):

    • y = -49
    • Check: -49 > -2/9 (False)

  2. Point \( (0, -\frac{4}{9}) \):

    • y = -\( \frac{4}{9} \)
    • Check: -\( \frac{4}{9} \) > -\( \frac{2}{9} \) (False)

  3. Point (0, -29):

    • y = -29
    • Check: -29 > -2/9 (False)

  4. Point \( (0, -\frac{2}{9}) \):

    • y = -\( \frac{2}{9} \)
    • Check: -\( \frac{2}{9} \) > -\( \frac{2}{9} \) (False)

  5. Point (0, -13):

    • y = -13
    • Check: -13 > -2/9 (False)

  6. Point \( (0, -\frac{1}{3}) \):

    • y = -\( \frac{1}{3} \) (which is -\( \frac{3}{9} \))
    • Check: -\( \frac{3}{9} \) > -\( \frac{2}{9} \) (False)

  7. Point (0, -19):

    • y = -19
    • Check: -19 > -2/9 (False)

It appears that none of the given points satisfy the inequality \( y > -\frac{2}{9} \).

Please double-check the points or provide other options if the problem context allows prevailing confirmations.
