Answer 1

To find which point shows a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \( y > 12x + 5 \) and \( y < -2x + 1 \), we need to check each point against both inequalities.

1. Point (1, 5.5)

   • Check \( y > 12x + 5 \):
     • \( 5.5 > 12(1) + 5 \)
     • \( 5.5 > 12 + 5 \)
     • \( 5.5 > 17 \) (False)
   • This point does not satisfy the first inequality.

2. Point (-1.6, 4.2)

   • Check \( y > 12x + 5 \):
     • \( 4.2 > 12(-1.6) + 5 \)
     • \( 4.2 > -19.2 + 5 \)
     • \( 4.2 > -14.2 \) (True)
   • Check \( y < -2x + 1 \):
     • \( 4.2 < -2(-1.6) + 1 \)
     • \( 4.2 < 3.2 + 1 \)
     • \( 4.2 < 4.2 \) (False)
   • This point does not satisfy the second inequality.

3. Point (-5, 5)

   • Check \( y > 12x + 5 \):
     • \( 5 > 12(-5) + 5 \)
     • \( 5 > -60 + 5 \)
     • \( 5 > -55 \) (True)
   • Check \( y < -2x + 1 \):
     • \( 5 < -2(-5) + 1 \)
     • \( 5 < 10 + 1 \)
     • \( 5 < 11 \) (True)
   • This point satisfies both inequalities.

4. Point (4, 8)

   • Check \( y > 12x + 5 \):
     • \( 8 > 12(4) + 5 \)
     • \( 8 > 48 + 5 \)
     • \( 8 > 53 \) (False)
   • This point does not satisfy the first inequality.

After evaluating all points, the point that satisfies both inequalities is (-5, 5).
