Question

Is (-5,-5) a solution of y> - 2x + 4?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Let's check by substituting -5 for y and -5 for x:

y > -2x + 4

-5 > -2 * (-5) + 4

-5 > 10 + 4

-5 > 14

Explanation:

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Let's check by substituting -5 for y and -5 for x:

y > -2x + 4

-5 > -2 * (-5) + 4

-5 > 10 + 4

-5 > 14

However, we know that -5 is definitely not greater than 4, so we know that (-5, -5) is NOT a solution to the given inequality.

Hope this helps!
