Question

Which of the following is a solution of y - x > -3?

(6, 2)
(2, 6)
(2, -1)

Answer 1

Answer: (2,6)

Explanation:

The coordinates are in the form (x,y)

(6,2) 2-6=-3, -3≡-3 thus not the answer

(2,6) 6-2=3, 3>-3

(2,-1) -1-2=-3, -3≡-3 thus not the answer

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

(2, 6)

Explanation:

For each of the 3 given points, substitute the coordinates into y - x > -3 and determine whether the resulting inequality is true or false:

(6, 2): 2 - 6 > - 3, or -4 > -3. This is FALSE, so (6, 2) is not a solution.

(2, 6): 6 - 2 > - 3, or 4 > -3. This is TRUE, so (2, 6) is a solution.
