ok i got (−2, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did u get

hero (hero):

Okay, let me substitute (-2,2) for the first equation: (-2) − (2) > 3 -2 - 2 > 3 -4 > 3 -4 is greater than 3? Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lol im sorry

hero (hero):

The points where x > y are more likely to work for this. So, start with those points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant (3, 4)

hero (hero):

For the point (3,4) is x > y ?
