Answer:

option A. (1,5)

Explanation:

we know that

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dotted line

Remember that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the inequality, then the ordered pair must be satisfy the inequality

Find the equation of the inequality

Find the slope of the dotted line


m=(-1+3)/(3+3)=1/3

The y-intercept is equal to
b=-2

The equation of the dotted line is


y=(1/3)x-2

therefore

The equation of the inequality is


y>(1/3)x-2

Verify each case

Substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the results

case A) (1,5)


5>(1/3)(1)-2


5>-(5/3) ------> is true

therefore

The ordered pair case A is a solution of the inequality

case B) (-3,-3)


-3>(1/3)(-3)-2


-3>-3 ------> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair case B is not a solution of the inequality

case C) (3,-1)


-1>(1/3)(3)-2


-1>-1 ------> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair case C is not a solution of the inequality

case D) (5,-5)


-5>(1/3)(5)-2


-5>-1/3 ------> is not true

therefore

The ordered pair case D is not a solution of the inequality
