This is the equation:( Y > 3x - 2 )Now I already have two answers for this equation, I'm just not sure which one I should go with.So I was hoping you would help me a little of which one I should go with.Answer 1: (0,-3) Or Answer 2: (1,2)

1) In this inequality, since you've given two possible answers let's test them to see which one fits or if both of them are solution for that inequality

y > 3x -2

Plugging into that the 1st point: (0,-3)

y > 3x -2

-3 > 3 (0) -2

-3 > -2 False

-3 is lesser than -2 because in the number line the closer to zero the greater they are for negative numbers

Plugging into that the2nd point: (1,2)

y > 3x -2

2 > 3(1) -2

2> 1 True

So between those two points, the true answer is the second point.
