ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

test each option one by one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 5,1 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y > -x + 5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you dont have 5, 1 in options, do u ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry, meant 5,-1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok, lets test (5, -1) and see

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(5, -1) x y

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plug it in the given inequality and see

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y > -x + 5 -1 > -5 + 5 -1 > 0 TRUE / FALSE ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good, reject it. test other options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about (1, 9)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

give it a try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 1 > -4 is that right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets see, it looks like right (1 , 9) x y

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y > -x + 5 9 > -1 + 5 9 > 4 TRUE/FALSE ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

's ok :) you get the process of figuring out these probloems, which is what really matters :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, so that falls in the solution.
