to do this all you need to do is substitute the x and y's of the points and see which is true
                          x  y
for  example:     (0, 6)       y > -3x + 5
                                        6 > -3(0) + 5
                                        6 > 5                this is true, it is in the solution
                              6 is greater than 5
does this make sense?

it actually does. Thanks

now, what they want to know is which point is not in the solution, so you have to keep trying the others to see which is not true
