Answer 1

we have

y>2x-3

now

For

-5>-2-3

-5>-5

It is equal. So false.

B. (1,-5)

-5>2-3

-5>-1

-1 is not greater than -5

3>2-3

3>-1

3 is greater than -1

So True

For

D. (2,-2)

-2>2-3

-2>-1

-2 is not greater than -1

So false

Answer 2

• C. (2, 3)

Explanation:

Given

• y > 2x - 3

Substitute the values to verify which is correct

A. (-1, -5)

• -5 > 2(-1) - 3 ⇒ - 5 > -5
• False

B. (1, -5)

• -5 > 2(1) - 3 ⇒ -5 > -1
• False

C. (2, 3)

• 3 > 2(2) - 3 ⇒ 3 > 1
• True

D. (2, -2)

• -2 > 2(2) - 3 ⇒ - 2 > 1
• False
