Answer:

(-2, -1)

Explanation:

Convert the inequality to the form y > mx + b:

3x + y > -8 subtract 3x from both sides

y > -3x - 8

Put the coordinates of the points to the inequality and check:

for (-3, 0)

0 > -3(-3) - 8 → 0 > 9 - 8 → 0 > 1 FALSE

for (-2, -1)

-1 > -3(-2) - 8 → -1 > 6 - 8 → -1 > -2 TRUE

for (0, -10)

-10 > -3(0) - 8 → -10 > 0 - 8 → -10 > -8 FALSE

for (2, -16)

-16 > -3(2) - 8 → -16 > -6 - 8 → -16 > -14 FALSE
