Respuesta :

The answer is (1,-2) and (1,2)

Answer:

Points (-3,-2), (-1,-2), (1,-2) and (1,2) are solutions to the given inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following inequality in the question:

[tex]y < 0.5x + 2[/tex]

We have to check which points give the solution to the given inequality.

1) (-3,-2)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]-2 < 0.5\times (-3) + 2\\-2 < 0.5\\\text{which is true}[/tex]

The above point is a solution to the given inequality.

2) (-2,1)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]1 < 0.5\times (-2) + 2\\1 < 1\\\text{which is not true}[/tex]

The above point is not a solution to the given inequality.

3) (-1,-2)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]-2 < 0.5\times (-1) + 2\\-2 < 1.5\\\text{which is true}[/tex]

The above point is a solution to the given inequality.

4) (-1,2)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]2< 0.5\times (-1) + 2\\2 < 1.5\\\text{which is not true}[/tex]

The above point is not a solution to the given inequality.

5) (1,-2)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]-2 < 0.5\times (1) + 2\\-2 < 2.5\\\text{which is true}[/tex]

The above point is a solution to the given inequality.

6) (1,2)

Putting the values in the given inequality:

[tex]2 < 0.5\times (1) + 2\\2 < 2.5\\\text{which is true}[/tex]

The above point is a solution to the given inequality.

Points (-3,-2), (-1,-2), (1,-2) and (1,2) are solutions to the given inequality.
