Question

Is (-3,4) a solution of the inequality y> - 2x – 3?

O There is not enough given information to determine this.
O (-3, 4) is a solution.
(-3, 4) would be a solution if the inequality was y > - 2x – 3.
(-3, 4) is not a solution.

Answer 1

(-3, 4) is a solution

Explanation:

The point (-3, 4) is inside the shaded area of the graph, so is a solution.

You can check in the inequality

y > -2x -3

4 > -2(-3) -3 . . . . substitute for x and y

4 > 3 . . . . . . . true; the given point is a solution
