Is the ordered pair (-6,3) a solution of the inequality -4x - 8y < 15 ?
A) Yes, the ordered pair is a solution
B) No, the ordered pair is not a solution.

Respuesta :

Given:

The inequality is:

[tex]-4x-7y<15[/tex]

To find:

The whether (-6,3) is a solution of given inequality of not.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-4x-7y<15[/tex]

We need to check the inequality for point (-6,3).

Substitute [tex]x=-6, y=3[/tex] in the given inequality.

[tex]-4(-6)-7(3)<15[/tex]

[tex]24-21<15[/tex]

[tex]3<15[/tex]

This statement is true. It means the point (-6,3) satisfies the given inequality.

Therefore, the correct option is A. Yes, the ordered pair is a solution.
