Answer:

(b) (-1, -3)

Explanation:

You want an ordered pair that is a solution to the inequality y ≤ -3x -5.

Graph

It can be convenient to plot the points on a graph of the inequality. When we do that, as in the first attachment, we see that the point in the solution space is ...

(b) (-1, -3)

__

Additional comment

The boundary line for the solution space is a line with negative slope through -5 on the y-axis. This means that points above -5 on the y-axis and any points in the first quadrant will not be in the solution space. Only one point remains after those are eliminated.
