Which of the points shown on the graph is a solution to the simultaneous inequalities y>3x+1 and y≤2x+5? Write the x-value first and the y-value second.

1 answer

To find a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \( y > 3x + 1 \) and \( y \leq 2x + 5 \), we need to determine the region defined by these inequalities on a graph.

  1. Inequality \( y > 3x + 1 \) represents a region above the line \( y = 3x + 1 \).
  2. Inequality \( y \leq 2x + 5 \) represents a region below or on the line \( y = 2x + 5 \).

To find a point that satisfies both inequalities, it must be located above the line \( y = 3x + 1 \) and also below or on the line \( y = 2x + 5 \).

To determine if any given point (x, y) satisfies these conditions, simply substitute the x-value and y-value into the inequalities and check:

  • For \( y > 3x + 1 \)
  • For \( y \leq 2x + 5 \)

Please provide the points shown on the graph so that I can help you identify the solution.
