Question

Is the point (1, 13) a solution to y> 2x + 5

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Substitute the point into the inequality to see if it is true.

(1,13) --> (x,y)

So, x is 1, and y is 13, and we can substitute them in to the inequality

y> 2x + 5

13 > 2(1) + 5

13> 2 + 5

13 > 7

Since 13 is greater than 7, it is true, and (1,13) is a solution

Answer 2

(1,13) is a solution

Explanation:

y> 2x + 5

Substitute the point in and see if the inequality is true

13> 2(1) + 5

13 > 2+5

13>7

This is true so the point is a solution
