mrdoe · Answer

was there a second inequality, otherwise you have 1eq and 2 unknowns...

anonymous · Answer

No that was the problem and then they fave me those pairs to pick from

mrdoe · Answer

huh, what class is it for?

anonymous · Answer

Pre Algebra

mrdoe · Answer

yeah than theres no way you should be having one eq with 2 unknowns, check the problem and see if you missed anything.  Unless maybe there just asking which would be a point on the line...

anonymous · Answer

There's asking the points for the line.

mrdoe · Answer

ok, thats fine than, so if the line has a slope of 5, and an y-int of 4, which one would it be?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know. I don't know how to figure these out.

mrdoe · Answer

remember its an inequality and y is greater than the value of the line, so start by taking a look at the graph of the line:
