Answer 2

Plug in to see

suppose i got d out of random

2(-3) + 0 > -4

-6 + 0 > -4

is -6 greater than -4 ?

Answer 3

Answer 5

uhmm...I'm still a bit confused. @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 6

Just plug in those values (x,y) and you'll see its -4 is greater than

Answer 7

plug in the values and treat the inequality sing like an equal sign of that helps you understand a bit better

Answer 8

Stuck?

Answer 9

yeah @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 10

Ok, suppose I gave you (7,9) the 7 is the x and the 9 is the y (x,y) you plug those values into the equation.

2x + y > – 4

2(7) + 9 > -4 ?

14 + 9 =

23 > -4

23 is greater than -4 therefore its true!

Answer 11

OOOOOOH! I think I get it! @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 12

:D
