line?
choose line
choose shade

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the inequalities

We have two inequalities: \( y \geq \frac{5}{4}x - 8 \) and \( y < -\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \). We need to find a point \((x,y)\) that satisfies both.

Step2: Test the point \((4, -5)\) in the first inequality

Substitute \( x = 4 \) and \( y = -5 \) into \( y \geq \frac{5}{4}x - 8 \):
Left - hand side (LHS) \( = - 5 \)
Right - hand side (RHS) \(=\frac{5}{4}\times4 - 8=5 - 8=-3\)
We check if \( - 5\geq - 3 \). Since \( - 5 < - 3 \), this point does not satisfy the first inequality. Let's find a correct point. Let's try \( x = 0 \).

For the first inequality \( y\geq\frac{5}{4}(0)-8=-8 \)
For the second inequality \( y < -\frac{1}{2}(0)-1=-1 \)
Let's choose \( y=-5 \) (since \( - 8\leq - 5 < - 1 \)). Let's check \( x = 0,y=-5 \)

First inequality: \( - 5\geq\frac{5}{4}(0)-8=-8 \), which is true.
Second inequality: \( - 5 < -\frac{1}{2}(0)-1=-1 \), which is true.

Wait, maybe the intended point is to find a point in the solution region. Let's re - examine the graph. The solution region is the intersection of the two regions defined by the inequalities.

Let's take \( x = 4 \) and find \( y \) values.

For \( y\geq\frac{5}{4}(4)-8=5 - 8=-3 \) and \( y < -\frac{1}{2}(4)-1=-2 - 1=-3 \). There is a contradiction here. Wait, maybe the lines are \( y\geq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \) (solid line) and \( y<-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \) (dashed line). Let's find the intersection of the two lines.

Set \( \frac{5}{4}x - 8=-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \)
\( \frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}x=8 - 1 \)
\( \frac{5x + 2x}{4}=7 \)
\( \frac{7x}{4}=7 \)
\( x = 4 \)
Substitute \( x = 4 \) into \( y=-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \), we get \( y=-\frac{1}{2}(4)-1=-2 - 1=-3 \)

The solution region is where \( y\geq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \) and \( y<-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \). Let's take \( x = 0 \), then for \( y\geq - 8 \) and \( y < - 1 \). Let's take \( (0,-5) \)

Check \( (0,-5) \) in \( y\geq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \): \( - 5\geq - 8 \) (true)
Check \( (0,-5) \) in \( y<-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \): \( - 5 < - 1 \) (true)

But the given point in the image is \( (4,-5) \), which we saw does not satisfy the first inequality. Maybe there is a typo. Alternatively, let's assume that the first inequality is \( y\leq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \). Then for \( (4,-5) \):

\( - 5\leq\frac{5}{4}(4)-8=5 - 8=-3 \) (true)
And \( - 5<-\frac{1}{2}(4)-1=-2 - 1=-3 \) (true). Maybe the inequality sign was reversed.

Assuming the first inequality is \( y\leq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \), then the point \( (4,-5) \) satisfies both inequalities.

Answer:

If we assume the first inequality is \( y\leq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \) (maybe a typo in the original problem), the point \((4, - 5)\) satisfies both \( y\leq\frac{5}{4}x - 8 \) (since \( - 5\leq - 3\)) and \( y<-\frac{1}{2}x - 1 \) (since \( - 5 < - 3\)). So the coordinates of a point in the solution set (assuming the correction) is \((4,-5)\)
