Question

y > 4x -5

A. (3,4)

B.(2,1)

C.(3,0)

D.(1,1)

Answer 1

which ordered pair os a solution of the inequality ?

Answer 2

"test" each (x,y) pair.
For example, to test choice A (3,4)
let x= 3 (the first number in (3,4) )
and put 3 into the relation in place of x
y > 4x -5
y > 4*(3) - 5
remember order of operations: first do 3*4=12 then 12-5 to get 7
y>7

finally, select the 2nd number from (3,4) to get the y value of 4. put that into our expression
4 > 7
is that true ? no. 4 is not bigger than 7 (notice the "big" side of > should be next to the bigger number and the "small" side of > next to the small number)
all of that means choice A does not work

Answer 3

can you test the other choices ?

Answer 4

I think that the correct answer is D>^

Answer 5

For (1,1)

did you "put in" 1 for x in
y > 4x -5
?
you should get
y > 4*1 - 5
y> 4-5
y> -1

now replace y with the 2nd number in (1,1)
1 > -1

is 1 bigger than -1. yes.
so choice D is correct
