Question

Which of the following ordered pairs is a solution of y < 2x -6?

Please help me, I prefer to learn this, not be given the answer, can you walk me step by step! Thanks

Answer 1

Okay, can you type the ordered pairs ?

Answer 2

Sure thing!
(0,5)
(2, -3)
(5, 8)

Answer 3

Great, now all you you gotta do is substitute and see if it's correct or incorrect.

Answer 4

& you know that the ordered pair is (x,y) right?

Answer 5

So for the first one,
y<2x-6 , (0,5)

Substitute the 0 with x and y with 5

=> 5<2(0)-6

simplify

=> 5<-6

Is 5 less than -6
