  1. If x ≥ y

  2. If x ≤ y

  3. If x > y

  4. If x < y

  5. If x = y or the relationship can not be established.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Solving both equations gives x = -8 or -9, and y = -9 or -10. In all four possible pairings, x is either equal to y or greater than y, so x ≥ y is always true. Option B (x ≤ y) is false because x is never less than y.
