Answer: No, (-3,2) is not a solution of -4x -10y < -9

Explanation:

if you plug in (-3,2) to the equation

-4(-3) -10(2) < -9

12-20 <-9

-8 < -9

so, no (-3,2) is not the solution

Answer:

To determine whether (-3, 2) is a solution of the inequality -4x -10y < -9, we need to substitute the values of x and y into the inequality and see if the inequality is satisfied.

In this case, if we substitute x = -3 and y = 2 into the inequality, we have:

-4*(-3) - 10*2 < -9

12 - 20 < -9

-8 < -9

Since the inequality is not satisfied when x = -3 and y = 2, (-3, 2) is not a solution of the inequality -4x -10y < -9.
