Question

Circle whether the point is a solution to the inequality. Show work to support the answer.2x + 3y > -8 is (-6,2) a solution?Yes/ No

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Given} \\ 2x+3y>-8 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{Substitute }(x,y)=(-6,2) \\ \\ 2x+3y>-8 \\ 2(-6)+3(2)>-8 \\ -12+6>-8 \\ -6>-8 \\ \\ -6\text{ is greater than }-8,\text{ therefore }(-6,2)\text{ is a solution} \end{gathered}$
