Given:

The inequality is:


-4x-7y<15

To find:

The whether (-6,3) is a solution of given inequality of not.

Solution:

We have,


-4x-7y<15

We need to check the inequality for point (-6,3).

Substitute
x=-6, y=3 in the given inequality.


-4(-6)-7(3)<15


24-21<15


3<15

This statement is true. It means the point (-6,3) satisfies the given inequality.

Therefore, the correct option is A. Yes, the ordered pair is a solution.
