Answer:

(-3,2) is not a solution.

Explanation:

The solution of a linear inequality in two variables like
Ax + By > C is an ordered pair
(x, y) that produces a true statement when the values of x and y are substituted into the inequality.

To find if (-3,2) is a solution of
7x+9y>-3, you must substitute this point into the inequality.


7\left(-3\right)+9\left(2\right)>-3\\\\-21+18>-3\\\\-3>-3

Because -3 is not greater than -3, (-3,2) is not a solution.
