Which system of linear inequalities is represented by the graph?

• y≤2x-1
  y>-2x+3
• y>2x-1
  y≤-2x+3
• y<2x-1
  y≥-2x+3
• y≤2x-1
  y>2x+3

Which point is a solution?

• (0, 6)
• (-3, 4)
• (1, 0)
• (-4, 3)

Colin needs to save at least $200 for homecoming. He works 2 jobs earning $9/hour at Wawa and $25/hour mowing lawns. He only has time to work 16 hours before homecoming.

• x + y ≥ 25

  x + y ≤ 9

• 100x + 25 y ≤ 200

  2x + 9y ≤ 16

• x + y ≥ 200

  9x + 25y ≤ 16

• 9x + 25y ≥ 200

  x + y ≤ 16
