Question

Which of the following points is a solution of y < 3x - 1?
A. (2, 0)
B. (-2, 0)
C. (0, 2)
D. (-2, -2)

Answer 1

I'll pick a point at random. I'll pick point D (-2,-2)

That means x = -2 and y = -2

y < 3x - 1

-2 < 3(-2) - 1 ... plug in x = -2 and y = -2

-2 < -6 - 1

-2 < -7


The inequality -2 < -7 is false. It should be -2 > -7.

So because -2 < -7 is false, this means y < 3x - 1 is false when (x,y) = (-2,-2)

Therefore, (-2,-2) is NOT a solution to y < 3x - 1

Answer 2

I'll let you check the others.
