For the system of inequality below, is (-1, 0) a solution? y < 4x + 1 y > - 1/4 x -1

Answer 1

y<4x-1

y>-(1/4)x -1

plug (-1,0) into each inequality, x=-1, y=0

y<4x-1

0<4(1)-1

0<4-1

0<3, it's a solution to the 1st inequality

y>-(1/4)x-1

0>-(1/4)(-1) -1

0>1/4-1

0>-3/4 It's a solution to both inequalitis
