Answer:

No and Yes.

Explanation:

The inequation is y ≥-x+7 and the pair is (x,y)=(-1,-1). Then:

-1≥ -(-1)+7

-1 ≥ 1+7

-1 ≥ 8, but this is not true, so (-1,-1) is not a solution of y ≥-x+7.

On the other hand, the inequation is y>(3/4)x-5 and the pair is (5,3). Then:

3>(3/4)(5)-5

3>(15/4)-5

3> -5/4 and this is true, so (5,3) is a solution of y>(3/4)x-5.
