Question

Which of the following ordered pairs is a solution of y < 2x -6?
A (0,5)
B (2, -3)
C (5, 8)

Answer 1

Just plug each ordered pair into the inequality to see if it works.
A. (0,5)
y < 2x -6
5 < 2(0) - 6
5 < 0 - 6
5 < -6 <--- Not true. So we can cross out A.

B. (2, -3)
y < 2x -6
-3 < 2(2) - 6
-3 < 4 - 6
-3 < -2 <--- True. This ordered pair works.

C. (5,8)
y < 2x -6
8 < 2(5) - 6
8 < 10 - 6
8 < 4 <--- Not true. So we can cross out C.

B is the answer. :D
