Question

Which points are solutions to the linear inequality y < 0.5x + 2? Check all that apply.

(–3, –2)

(–2, 1)
(–1, –2)
(–1, 2)
(1, –2)
(1, 2)

Answer 1

(-1, -2), (1, -2), (1, 2)

Explanation:

`y<0.5x+2\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the points to the inequality, and check it:}\\\\(-3,\ 2)\\2<0.5(-3)+2\\2<-1.5+2\\2<0.5\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\(-2,\ 1)\\1<0.5(-2)+2\\1<-1+2\\1<1\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\(-1,\ -2)\\-2<0.5(-1)+2\\-2<-0.5+2\\-2<1.5\qquad\bold{CORRECT}\\\\(-1,\ 2)\\2<0.5(-1)+2\\2<-0.5+2\\2<1.5\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\(1,\ -2)\\-2<0.5(1)+2\\-2<0.5+2\\-2<2.5\qquad\bold{CORRECT}\\\\(1,\ 2)\\2<0.5(1)+2\\2<0.5+2\\2<2.5\qquad\bold{CORRECT}`
