Question

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

Answer 1

Not a solution.

Explanation:

(x, y)

(-1, 2)

Substitute the x and y values in the expression with the point given.

8x + y > -6

8(-1) + 2 > -6

-8 + 2 > -6

-6 > -6

Since our final value has to be greater than -6 but is instead equal to -6, the solution is not true.
