Question

Determine whether the ordered pairs given are solutions of the linear inequality in two variables.
-x + 2y > -4: (5, -3)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substituting x = 5 and y = -3, we get:
5 + 2(-3) > -4
-1 > -4
Since -1 is indeed greater than -4, the inequality holds true and (5, -3) is a solution. Substituting x=5 and y=-3 in the inequality,
5 + 2(-3) > -4 
-1 > -4 
This is true. Therefore, (5,-3) is a solution of the inequality.
