Question

HELP!!!! Ill give a medal to whoever can help me!!!!
Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality y > x + 5?
(-3, 2)
(0, -3)
(3, 5)
(2, 8)

Answer 1

looking at choice A, which is (-3, 2)

this means x = -3 and y = 2

Answer 2

so plugging this point in means that you plug in x = -3 and y = 2 to get

y > x + 5

2 > -3 + 5

2 > 2

since that last inequality is FALSE, this means that (-3, 2) is NOT a solution to the inequality

Answer 3

so choice A is eliminated

do the same for the other choices

Answer 4

i think its choice c is that correct??

Answer 5

let's check it out

Answer 6

y > x + 5

5 > 3 + 5 ... plug in (3, 5) ...ie plug in x = 3 and y = 5

5 > 8

is that true?

Answer 7

i think so?

Answer 8
