Plug in each x-coordinate and y-coordinate to the inequality.  The ones that make true statements are solutions.

For example, 3(0) - 2(-6)>=12.

joannablackwelder · Answer

This inequality is true since 12>=12 is true.

ohh so the answer would be 3(-1) - 2(-7) = 11 therefore its answer B.   Thanks so much
