Answer:

D, (1,2)

Explanation:

It all comes down to substitution. In this case the coefficient of x is 3 and the coefficient of y is 4. The format of these coordinates being (x,y).

1. Plug in your x value (1 in this circumstance) and solve:

3(1) + 4y < 12

3 + 4y < 12

2. Plug in your y value (2 in this circumstance) and solve:

3 + 4(2) < 12

3 + 8 < 12

3. Solve

3 + 8 = 11

11 < 12
