On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a negative slope and goes through (0, 2) and (4, 0). Everything below and to the left of the line is shaded.

(2, 3)
(2, 1)
(3, –2)
(–1, 3)

The point (3, -2)

================

Insert each point into the inequality and see if it makes the inequality true.

For point (2, 3), if we plug it into the inequality:

  • 3 < (-1/2)*2 + 2 ⇒ 3 < 1, which is false

For point (2, 1), if we plug it in:

  • 1 < (-1/2)*2 + 2 ⇒ 1 < 1, which is false

For point (3, -2), if we plug it in:

  • -2 < (-1/2)*3 + 2 ⇒ -2 < 0.5, which is true

For point (-1, 3), if we plug it in:

  • 3 < (-1/2)*(-1)+ 2 ⇒ 3 < 2.5, which is false.

Thus, the point that satisfies the inequality is (3, -2).
