In order for


(2,-1)

to be a valid solution for the inequality


x-3y<1

The inequality must remain true when we plug in 2 as x and -1 as y.

Let's check out if this happens:


\begin{gathered} x-3y<1\rightarrow2-3(-1)<1\rightarrow2+3<1 \\ 5<1\text{ isn't true} \end{gathered}

Therefore, (2 -1) is not a valid solution for the inequality

(Option B: False)
