Which point is a solution to the inequality shown in this graph? 5
(3,-1)
(-3,-3)
O A. (5,-5)
O B. (1,5)
C. (-3,-3)
D. (3, -1)

We want to see which point is a solution for the graphed inequality.

We will find that the correct option is B, (1, 5)

Notice that the line that defines the inequality contains the points (-3, -3) and (3, -1)

Then the slope of that line is:

Then the line is something like:

y = (1/2)*x + b

To find the value of b, we use the fact that this line passes through the point (3, -1), then we have:

-1 = (1/2)*3 + b

-1 - 3/2 + b

-5/2 = b

So the line is:

y = (1/2)*x - 5/2

And we can see that the line is slashed, and the shaded area is above the line, then we have:

y > (1/2)*x - 5/2

Now that we have the inequality, we can just input the values of the points in the inequality and see if this is true.

First, options C and D can be discarded because these points are on the line, and the points on the line are not solutions.

So we only try with A and B.

A) x = 5

   y = -5

then we have:

-5 > (1/2)*5 - 5/2

-5 > 0

Which clearly is false.

B) x = 1

   y = 5

Then we have:

5 > (1/2)*1 - 5/2 = -4/2

5 > -4/2

This is true, then the point (1, 5) is a solution.

Thus the correct option is B.

Hey there!

To find the answer, we just need to see which point falls in this blue, which represents the inequality.

We see that the point (5,-5) is not on the blue.

We see that the point (1,5) is on the blue.

(-3,-3) is on the dotted line but not a solution of the inequality. The dotted line is excluded from the inequality. If it were a bold line, then it would be a solution of the inequality.

(3,-1) is also on the dotted line so it is not a solution.

Therefore, the answer is B. (1,5)

I hope that this helps!

your answer would be 12

what statement? is there an image?
