Which of the following points is in the feasible region of the system of inequalities. Which of the following points satisfied all three inequalities below?
y >= 0
5x-2y >= 8
x+y <= 9
----------------------
Show work or explain how you have made your choice
A. (1,2):: 2>0 ; 5*1-2*2 = 1 is NOT >=8
--------------------------
B. (4,3):: 3>0 ; 5*4-2*3 = 14 >= 8 ; 4+3 <= 9
--------------------------
C. (6,-2):: -2 is NOT > 0
===============================
D. (7,4):: 4> 0 ; 5*7-2*4 = 27 >= 8 ; 7+4 = 11 is NOT <=9
===================================
Ans: (4,3) satisfies the three inequalities
====================
