Which point is a solution to the given system of inequalities in the xy-plane?

ExplanationShow

Choice D is correct. A point  is a solution to a system of inequalities in the xy-plane if substituting the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point for and , respectively, in each inequality makes both of the inequalities true. Substituting the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of choice D, and , for and , respectively, in the first inequality in the given system, , yields , or , which is true. Substituting for and for in the second inequality in the given system, , yields , or , which is true. Therefore, the point  is a solution to the given system of inequalities in the xy-plane.

Choice A is incorrect. Substituting for and for in the inequality  yields , or , which is not true.

Choice B is incorrect. Substituting for and for in the inequality  yields , or , which is not true.

Choice C is incorrect. Substituting for and for in the inequality  yields , or , which is not true.
