The given inequality is


y>x+3

Substitute x and y by the coordinates of each point, then check if the inequality is right or wrong

At point (-5, 1)

x = -5, y = 1


\begin{gathered} 1>-5+3 \\ 1>-2 \end{gathered}

The inequality is correct because 1 is greater than -2

At point (1, 4)

x = 1, y = 4


\begin{gathered} 4>1+3 \\ 4>4 \end{gathered}

The inequality is wrong because 4 is not greater than 4, 4 is equal to 4

At point (-1, 0)

x= -1, y = 0


\begin{gathered} 0>-1+3 \\ 0>2 \end{gathered}

The inequality is wrong because 0 is not greater than 2

At point (3, -4)

x = 3, y = -4


\begin{gathered} -4>3+3 \\ -4>6 \end{gathered}

The inequality is wrong because -4 is not greater than 6

The correct answer is (-5, 1), answer A
