Question

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the inequality

y< x + 12

-2, 5
0, 1
15, 0
-5, 0​

Answer 1

All of the above.

To check if an ordered pair is a solution to the inequality, plug in the ordered pair into the inequality and see if the inequality checks out.

`y<x+12`

(-2,5)

`5<-2+12`

`5<10`

So this ordered pair works.

(0,1)

`1<0+12`

`1<12`

So this ordered pair works as well.

(15,0)

`0<15+12`

`0<27`

So this ordered pair works.

(-5,0)

`0<-5+12`

`0<7`

So this ordered pair works as well.
