Examine the system of inequalities x−y>2,x−y<0.x-y>2,\qquad x-y<0. Which one of the following best describes the set of solutions of this system? a) Infinitely many ordered pairs with x−y>2 satisfy both inequalities.\text{Infinitely many ordered pairs with }x-y>2\text{ satisfy both inequalities.} b) Infinitely many ordered pairs with 0<x−y<2 satisfy both inequalities, forming a strip.\text{Infinitely many ordered pairs with }0 < x-y < 2\text{ satisfy both inequalities, forming a strip.} c) No ordered pair satisfies both inequalities.\text{No ordered pair satisfies both inequalities.} d) Exactly one ordered pair, namely the point where x−y=1, satisfies both inequalities.\text{Exactly one ordered pair, namely the point where }x-y=1,\text{ satisfies both inequalities.}
