ranga!!

anonymous · Answer

so its (1,0)

ranga · Answer

Substitute each pair of x, y and see which one makes the inequality true.

anonymous · Answer

i believe its (1,0) when you substitute

ranga · Answer

In the first answer, x = 1, y = -2 
Put that in the inequality. -2 < -|1| or -2 < -1 
Is this true?

ranga · Answer

If -2 < -1 is true then the answer is the first choice.

anonymous · Answer

@ranga is right

ranga · Answer

-2 < -1 is true
So the answer is (1, -2)

ranga · Answer

If you try the second and third choice you will find the inequality to be false and so they are the wrong answers.

Try  the second choice (1, -1) 
x = 1, y = -1 in y < -|x|
-1 < -1 which is false and so the second choice is wrong

Try the third choice (1, 0)
x = 1, y = 0 in y < -|x|
0 < -1 which is false and so the third choice is wrong
