The answer is C: (-3,-1)

To test if points satisfy an equation, all you need to do is test the numbers in both of the equations it provides you

Here is proof the answer is C :

y > x - 2

(lets plug in point C)

-1 > -3 - 2

solve

-1 > -5 ?

Yes this statement is true- onto the next inequalitity!

y > 2x + 2

-1 > 2(-3) + 2

solve

-1 > -6 + 2

-1 > -4 ?

Yes, this inequality is true too!

Know we know answer c (-3,-1) is the right answer!
