Answer:


\fbox{\begin{minipage}{8em}Not a solution\end{minipage}}

Explanation:

Step 1: Consider the assumption:

Generally,
(6, 7)) is supposed to be the pair of 2 components, in which, the first component is x-component (domain), the second component is y-component (range).

Hence,
x = 6, y = 7

Step 2: Substitute
x and
y into the inequality


y > 2x - 5

<=>
7 > 2*6 - 5

Step 3: Simplify

<=>
7> 12 - 5

<=>
7 > 7

Step 4: Evaluate

Invalid

Reason:
7 = 7

Step 5: Conclude


(6, 7) is not a solution to the inequality
y > 2x - 5

Hope this helps!
