Plot the given points on the coordinate plane with the system of inequalities.
(1,-2), see solution.
Let's plot the given points on the same coordinate plane as the system of inequalities.
When looking at the four points, the first thing we can notice is that (0,-4) and (-1,-6) lie squarely within the solution set, and the points (1,-2) and (2,-4) rest on the boundary lines. What does it mean when a line is dashed and when it is solid?
With the all this in mind, we can conclude that (2,-4) is a solution to the system because it lies on a solid line. However, the point (1,-2), which lies on both a solid and a dashed line, is a solution to one of the inequalities but not to the other. Therefore, (1,-2) does not belong with the others as it's not a solution.
