Answer: The 4th option= -1, -3

Step-by-step explanation: Here, if y = -1 and x = -3. The equation would be: (-1) + (-3)= -1 -3 = -4

Now we know that -4 is greater than -5.

Some may think that -4 is smaller than -5 nut remember that the numbers are in minus form, so if u put them in a number line, then -4 is greater than -5.

Thanks.
