hello again glad to see u
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
all you have to do here is plug in the 4 values of x and y and see if they fit
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sorry idk what that means
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
eg A:
x=3, y=4
substituting
3 > 4(3) -5 = 7
3 not > 7 so its not A

i know its not b because i got b wrong on the test
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think its c
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
try D
instead of x put 1 and instead of y put 1 (in the formula y> 4x - 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 > 4(1) -5 = 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did i do that right?

no
1 > 4(1) - 5 = 4 -5 = -1
so 1 > -1
is that right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes?!
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
yes 1 is greater than -1
so the correct choice is D
