what about C?
Check out attachment in the comment box

Answer 1

for choice B: what is 3*4 - 4 ?
is -5 less than that number ?

Answer 2

yes! @phi

Answer 3

so it's A&B?

Answer 4

yes, so far. what I did was replace x with the first number in the pair
and replace y with the 2nd number.

for choice C: (4,-8) in y ≤ 3x -4
replace x with 4: 3*4-4
is -8 less than this number ?

Answer 5

3*4=12-4=8
no! its not less!

Answer 6

-8 is less than 8
(negative numbers are less than positive numbers)

Answer 7

(just like -8 is colder than +8 degrees out)

Answer 8

oh yes I was saying (8) isn't less than -8 because -8 is a negative number
but basically it is A&B!

Answer 9

for choice C: (4,-8) in y ≤ 3x -4
we (after simplifying) get -8 ≤ 8 ?
and the answer is yes, -8 is less than 8 so choice C is also one of the answers.

Answer 10

just like in choice B: (4,-5)
we get - 5 ≤ 8 which is true, so B is one of the answers

Answer 11

thank you so much

Answer 12

now choice D: (0,0) y ≤ 3x-4
replace y with 0, and x with 0:
0 ≤ 3*0 -4 ?
0 ≤ -4 ? is this true?
