Question

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the linear inequality y – 4x ≤ –6?

A. (-2, 4)
B. (1, -2)
C. (1, 3)
D. (2, 3)

I think it's B...is that correct?

Answer 1

You're correct

Answer 2

The answer is B) (1,-2). But the best way for you to do this would be by graphing and checking the values.

Answer 3

Or by simply plugging the x & y values into the equation

Answer 4

Ok thanks(: I plugged the x and y values in but I just wasn't sure if my answer was correct.

Answer 5

Just remember, when you're checking for this problem </= -6, the number on the other side of the equation or inequality has to be bigger than -6 because it will be farther away from 0 and -6. Any negative number closer to 0 is bigger than -6.
