Question

Which coordinate pair is in the solution set for y < 1 − 6x?

a.) (-1, 1)
b.) (1, −1)
c.) (1, 0)
d.) (0, 1)
Can someone help me with this.

Answer 1

y<1-6x
implies y+6x<1

Answer 2

a) x=-1, y=1 now put the values of x and y and you have y+6x=1+6(-1)=1-6=-5<1

Answer 3

so (-1,1) is a solution

Answer 4

b)x=1 y=-1 so y+6x=-1+6=5 which is not less then 1 so (1,-1) is not solution

Answer 5

c)x=1 y=0 so y+6x=0+6=6 is not less than 1 so again (1,0) is not a solution

Answer 6

d) x=0 y=1 so y+6x=1 is not less than 1 so (0,1) is also not possible
hence option a) is only correct
