Understand the Problem

The question is asking which two points satisfy the inequality 4y ≤ 2x - 4. To solve this, we need to substitute each point into the inequality to see if it holds true.

Answer

The two points in the solution set are (4, 1) and (0, -1).
Answer for screen readers

The two points in the solution set are (4, 1) and (0, -1).

Steps to Solve

  1. Rewrite the inequality
    We start with the inequality to analyze it:
    $$ 4y \leq 2x - 4 $$
    To simplify our checks, we can express it as:
    $$ y \leq \frac{1}{2}x - 1 $$

  2. Substituting the points
    We will substitute each point into the simplified inequality and check if it holds true.

  3. Check point (0, 0)
    Substituting $x = 0$ and $y = 0$:
    $$ 0 \leq \frac{1}{2}(0) - 1 $$
    $$ 0 \leq -1 \quad \text{(False)} $$

  4. Check point (4, 1)
    Substituting $x = 4$ and $y = 1$:
    $$ 1 \leq \frac{1}{2}(4) - 1 $$
    $$ 1 \leq 2 - 1 $$
    $$ 1 \leq 1 \quad \text{(True)} $$

  5. Check point (0, -1)
    Substituting $x = 0$ and $y = -1$:
    $$ -1 \leq \frac{1}{2}(0) - 1 $$
    $$ -1 \leq -1 \quad \text{(True)} $$

  6. Check point (1, 4)
    Substituting $x = 1$ and $y = 4$:
    $$ 4 \leq \frac{1}{2}(1) - 1 $$
    $$ 4 \leq 0 - 1 $$
    $$ 4 \leq -1 \quad \text{(False)} $$

  7. Identify valid points
    The points that satisfy the inequality are:

  • (4, 1)
  • (0, -1)

The two points in the solution set are (4, 1) and (0, -1).

More Information

These points were confirmed by substituting back into the inequality. For a point to satisfy an inequality, the left-hand side must be less than or equal to the right-hand side.

Tips

  • Failing to correctly substitute the points into the inequality. It's crucial to be careful with the calculations.
  • Misinterpreting the sign of the inequality; ensure to maintain the correct direction when simplifying.
