Answer:

C.

Explanation:

You are given 3x-4y<16 and we want to see which of the ordered pairs is a solution.

These ordered pairs are assumed to be in the form (x,y).

A. (0,-4) ?

3x-4y<16 with (x=0,y=-4)

3(0)-4(-4)<16

0+16<16

16<16 is not true so (0,-4) is not a solution of the given inequality.

B. (4,-1)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=4,y=-1)

3(4)-4(-1)<16

12+4<16

16<16 is not true so (4,-1) is not a solution of the given inequality.

C. (-3,-3)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=-3,y=-3)

3(-3)-4(-3)<16

-9+12<16

3<16 is true so (-3,-3) is a solution to the given inequality.

D. (2,-3)?

3x-4y<16 with (x=2,y=-3)

3(2)-4(-3)<16

6+12<16

18<16 is false so (2,-3) is not a solution to the given inequality.
