If you know how inequalities work, you can simply test each of the ordered pairs, using the x-value in place of x and the y-value in place of y. See which one simplifies the left side to be greater than (> than) -8. Does this make sense?

What he said is right.  For instance 3(-3)+0> -8

-9>-8 which is false.  Plug in the rest like that to get your answer :)

In (-3, 0) -3=X and 0=Y.  The reason the are called ordered pairs is because they are in order (x, y).  Work through with each of the four possible answers and it's easy from there. :)
