Replace x in the equation with the x value from the ordered pair and see if the y value meets the inequality.

y ≤ 2(-9) -7

y ≤ -18 - 7

y ≤ -25

The y value in the ordered pair is 1, so replace y with 1 and see if the inequality is true:

1 ≤ -25

1 is a positive value and the equation equals a negative value, so this is not true, because 1 is greater than -25.
