Question

Which of the following points is a solution of y > |x| + 5?

(0,5)

(1, 7)

(7, 1)

Answer 1

The answer is the second option, (1,7).
Let's put it into the inequality.
7 > |1| + 5
The absolute value of 1 is 1 because it is 1 away from zero. So:
7 > 1 + 5
1 + 5 is 6.
7 > 6

Hope this helps!
