PlEASE CHECK ANSWER! MEDAL WILL BE GIVEN ! Which ordered pair makes the inequality true? x + 4y > 10 (–3, –2) (–6, 4) (19, –2) (14, –1)

D is my Answer !

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

So when a solution to an inequality it true, the value that you get after plugging the x-value, would be true at the end:\[x+4y>10\rightarrow y>(10-x)/4\] Now we plug in 14.\[y>(10-x)/4\rightarrow y>(10-14)/4\rightarrow y>4/4\rightarrow y>1\] Now, the y-value in the point we chose was -1; (14,-1). We can substitute the -1 for y, and see if its true:\[y>1\rightarrow -1>1\] Since this reads as "-1 is greater than 1", is not true, then this is NOT a solution to the inequality.

so there is no answer to this then ? @JonnyVonny

OpenStudy (jonnyvonny):

No; I'm saying your answer is wrong, the answer is c; plug it in\[y>(10-x)/4\rightarrow y>(10-19)/4\rightarrow y>-9/4\] The y value from the point (19,2) is 2. Substitute 2 with y. You'll get "2 is greater than -9/4", which is true, therefore (19,2) is a solution.
