To which graph does the point (2, 4) belong?

Answer:
Option (3) is correct.
(2,4) belongs to y ≥ 4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : the point (2,4)
We have to find the equation of graph to which the point (2,4) belongs.
We will substitute the point in the each given equation and for which the point satisfies will contain the point.
For 1) y ≥ x + 3
Put x = 2 and y = 4
⇒ 4 ≥ 2 + 3
⇒ 4 ≥ 5 (false)
For 2) y ≥ -x + 8
Put x = 2 and y = 4
⇒ 4 ≥ -2 + 8
⇒ 4 ≥ 6 (false)
For 3) y ≥ 4x - 5
Put x = 2 and y = 4
⇒ 4 ≥ 4(2) - 5 = 8 - 5
⇒ 4 ≥ 3 (true)
For 4) y ≥ -2x + 9
Put x = 2 and y = 4
⇒ 4 ≥ -4 + 9
⇒ 4 ≥ 5 (false)
Since, the point (2,4) satisfies only inequality y ≥ 4x - 5.
Thus, (2,4) belongs to y ≥ 4x - 5

1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y
2. According to the "triangle inequality" :
y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7
(y is greater than 7)
3. Remark, check the figures:
the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2
In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.
