Plug in each ordered pair until you get one that's true

Let's do them together. So the first point is (-3,0)
So by plugging it into the given equation it should look like:
$$2(-3)+0>-4$$
distribute the 2 into the parenthesis to give you :
$$-6>-4$$
this one is false because -6 is less than -4, not greater than. So you can eliminate this answer.
