(1,1) -->> 1 >= 4(1) - 5 -->> 1 >= 4-5 -->> 4 >= -1

To verify if an ordered pair is a solution to the inequality y ≥ 4x - 5, substitute the x-value from the pair into the inequality and compare if the y-value in the pair satisfies the inequality.

To determine whether an ordered pair is a solution to the inequality y ≥ 4x - 5, we must input the x-value from the pair into the inequality and see if the resulting y-value satisfies the inequality.

When we substitute the x-value into the expression 4x - 5, the y-value produced should be greater than or equal to the result to be considered a solution.

For example, let's consider an ordered pair (1, 1).

If we plug in x = 1 into the inequality we get y ≥ 4(1) - 5, which simplifies to y ≥ -1.

Therefore, since 1 is greater than -1, the ordered pair (1, 1) satisfies the inequality and is a solution.

To check other ordered pairs, simply substitute the x-value into the inequality and compare the y-value in the ordered pair to the result to determine if it makes the inequality true.
