Question

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality y > x + 1?

(1, 5)

(0, -2)

(5, -1)

(2, 2)

Answer 1

You tell me. Each ordered pair is an (x,y) pair.
So plug them in and you get these three equations, you get to figure out which one is right:
(1) 5>1+1 (2) -2>-2+1 (3) -1>5+1 (4) 2>2+1

Answer 2

Just plug in each of the answers into y > x + 1.

I plugged in (1,5). 1 is the x and 5 is the y.

5 > 1 + 1
5 > 2

So that is correct because it's saying that 5 is greater than 2, which is true.

So your answer is (1,5).
