Answer:

Yes, the point (-7, 5) satisfies the inequality y > -3/7x + 2

Explanation:

Plug in the values to the inequality and verify if it is true:

x = -7, y = 5

5 > (-3/7*-7) + 2

5 > (-3/-49) + 2

5 > 3/49 + 2

5 > 101/49

The inequality above is true (5 is greater than 101/49 [101/49 is about 2.06]), so the point (-7, 5) satisfies y > -3/7x + 2
