Question

Which of the following points is a solution of y > |x| + 5?
a)(0, 5)
b)(1, 7)
c)(7, 1)

Answer 1

A) because when you plug in x=0 in the function your y=5. so you got the point (0,5)

in the other case you will have for x=1 --> y=6 (1,6) and for x=7 --> y=12 (7,12)

Answer 2

I would have to disagree... y > |x| + 5 means that whatever |x|+5 yields, y must be greater than that value... Therefore the correct answer would be (b).

Answer 3

Yes your are right the solution is (b) because in the graph the origin point is (0,5) going up therefore the point (1,7) is the correct answer. I apologize!
