we know x < 3, so we automatically know that the point must have an x coordinate less than 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so this means that choice A is automatically out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it b?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
The rest of the points all have x coordinates less than 3, so we need to test them all
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Testing (2,2)
x + y < 5
2 + 2 < 5
4 < 5 ... true
-------------------
Testing (-1,0)
x + y < 5
-1 + 0 < 5
-1 < 5 ... true
-------------------
I'll let you test the last one (2,-1)
Tell me what you get for your answers (you can choose more than one)
