Can You Help Me Understand Question Number 2 class=

Sagot :

Given:

[tex]\{(x,y)|5x-7y<0, x\in I, y\in I\}[/tex]

To find:

The test point is in the solution set for the linear inequality.

Solution:

The inequality is

[tex]5x-7y<0[/tex]

Here, [tex]x\in I, y\in I[/tex]. It means, both x and y both are integers. So, the option D is incorrect because 1.5 and 3.5 are not integers.

For option A, the point is (-2,-1).

Putting x=-2 and y=-1 in the given inequality, we get

[tex]5(-2)-7(-1)<0[/tex]

[tex]-10+7<0[/tex]

[tex]-3<0[/tex]

This statement is true. So, the point (-2,-1) is in the solution set.

For option B, the point is (-4,-3).

Putting x=-4 and y=-3 in the given inequality, we get

[tex]5(-4)-7(-3)<0[/tex]

[tex]-20+21<0[/tex]

[tex]1<0[/tex]

This statement is false. So, the point (-4,-3) is not in the solution set.

For option C, the point is (-2,-4).

Putting x=-2 and y=-4 in the given inequality, we get

[tex]5(-2)-7(-4)<0[/tex]

[tex]-10+28<0[/tex]

[tex]18<0[/tex]

This statement is false. So, the point (-2,-4) is not in the solution set.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
