Which point (x, y) satisfies both y 2x − 3 and y ≤ −x + 6?

Question

Which point (x, y) satisfies both y > 2x − 3 and y ≤ −x + 6?

Accepted Answer

A. (1, 4). At (1, 4): 4 > 2(1) − 3 = −1 holds, and 4 ≤ −1 + 6 = 5 holds.

Answer

B. (3, 1) — (3, 1): the first inequality needs y > 3, but y = 1.

Answer

C. (1, 6) — (1, 6): the second inequality caps y at 5, but y = 6.

Answer

D. (4, 0) — (4, 0): the first inequality needs y > 5, but y = 0.
