Question

Does the point (-2, 1) satisfy the inequality 6x + y > -11? YES OR NO

Answer 1

No, the given point does not satisfy the inequality

Solution:

Given inequality is 6x + y > -11

We have to find whether the point (-2, 1) satisfies the inequality

When we subsitute the given point into given inequality, values in both sides of inequality must satisfy the condition

Let us substitute the given point (x, y) = (-2, 1) in given inequality

6(-2) + 1 > -11

-12 + 1 > -11

-11 > -11 which is not true, Since -11 is equal to -11

So the given point does not satisfy the inequality
