It's easy to find out if the point (-5, 2) satisfies the given inequality.
Just substitute the x- and y-coordinates from the given point into the inequaltity.
and Both conditions must be true for the inequality to be satisfied. Substitute the x and y from the given point.

TRUE!
Since both conditions of the compound inequality have been met, the inequality is satisfied by the given pont.
