Question

Which of the following ordered pairs is not a solution to the inequality y greater than or equal to -3x - 2?

(0, -1)

(0, 0)

(-1, 0)

(1, 1)

Answer 1

An easy way to do this is just to plug the values into the equation and see if it works.

(0, -1)
\[y \ge -3x - 2\]
\[-1 \ge -3(0) - 2\]
\[-1\ge-2\]

This is true. Just remember that the bigger the numerical value of a negative number is, the small it is.

(0,0)
\[0 \ge -3(0) - 2\]
\[0\ge-2\]

Again, this is true.

(-1, 0)
\[0 \ge -3(-1) - 2\]
\[0\ge1\]

This is not true, so this is your answer
