The solution of the given inequality is the last option (5, - 5)

Which ordered pair is in the solution set?

To see if an ordered pair is a solution, we just need to replace the values in the inequality and check if it is true or false.

For the first pair (1, 3), we will get:

3 < (3/5)*1 - 6

3 < 3/5 - 30/5

3 < -27/5

This is false, so it is not a solution.

From the options, the solution is (5, -5)

-5 < (3/5)*5 - 6

-5 < 3- 6

-5 < -3

This is true.

Complete question:

"Which ordered pair is in the solution set of y< 3/5x -6

(1, 3)

(2, -2)

(0, 2)

(5, -5)"
