hi.. have you come to an epiphany or would you still like a bit of help?

anonymous · Answer

well i don't really know where to start first on this equation

anonymous · Answer

try just substituting the given coordinates and see if the numbers make a true statement.  for instance, C. has the given coordinates of (5,-1).  upon substituting 5 for x and -1 for y, the inequality becomes -1>5+1.

anonymous · Answer

is -1>5+1 a true statement?

anonymous · Answer

in other words, is -1>6?
