Answer 5

Lets plug in the solutions and see if it works.

Answer 6

Or you can graph it using Desmos Graphing Calculator and see what points fall in the shaded area.

Answer 7

Lets plug in (0,-9)
4(0)+(-9)>-6
0-9>-6
-9>-6 is false
a is not a solution

Answer 8

lets plug in (-3,6)
4(-3)+(6).-6
-12+6>-6
-6>-6 is also false
So b is not a solution either

Answer 9

lets plug in (-1,-1)
4(-1)+(-1)>-6
-4+1>-6
-3>-6 is true
This is a solution

Answer 10

Lets just make sure the others are not solutions either

Answer 11

So lets plug in (2,0)
4(2)+(0)>-6
8+0>-6
8>-6
This is also a solution

Answer 12

Finally lets plug in (4,-20)
4(4)+(-20)>-6
16-20>-6
-4>-6
Also a solution

Answer 13

So we have three solutions
(4,-20)
(2,0)
(-1,-1)
