Which of the following ordered pairs is not a solution to the inequality y < -x + 4? (1, 2) (2, 1) (4, 0) (3, -2)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Insert each ordered pair in the given inequality, and see which one does not work. For example, the first choice is (1, 2), and the inequality is y < -x + 4 Insert 1 for x and 2 for y: Is 2 < -(1) + 4? Is 2 < 3? The answer is yes, so the first choice works. Now try choices 2, 3, and 4 in a similar way and see which one does not work.

(2, 1)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Try (2, 1) y < -x + 4 2 < -(1) + 4 True or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3rd one is not a solution because 0<-4+4 0<0 which is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rest are true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (1, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nitz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1,2) is a solution as 2<-1+4 2<4-1 2<3 which is true
