Question

Tell me whether (-1, 2) is a solution of 8x+y>-6

Answer 1

Answer: I believe not

Explanation:

You plug in the x and y values and it equals -6 which is not greater than 6

:)

Answer 2

No, (-1, 2) isn't a solution. Let's just evaluate it. 8(-1) + 2 > -6. This means -8 + 2 > -6, and that evaluates to -6 > -6. This is incorrect since -6 is equivalent to itself, not greater. Hope this helps!
