Question

4. Determine if (2, 4) is a solution to the linear inequality below:

5x - 3y < -2​

Answer 1

(2, 4) is not a solution to the linear inequality

Explanation:

We can plug in (2, 4) for x and y and check whether the result is less than -2:

`5(2)-3(4) < -2\\10-12 < -2\\-2 < -2`

-2 is equal to but not less than -2 so the points are not a solution.
