Question

Determine if the ordered pair (?1, ?5) is a solution to the inequality y is less than or equal to negative three fourths times x minus 1.

Answer 1

We can determine if the ordered pair (?1, ?5) is a solution to the inequality by substituting the values of x and y into the inequality and checking if it is true or false.

y ≤ (-3/4)x - 1

-5 ≤ (-3/4)(-1) - 1

-5 ≤ -2/4

-5 ≤ -1/2

Since -5 is less than or equal to -1/2, the inequality is true. Therefore, the ordered pair (?1, ?5) is a solution to the inequality.
