Question

Which of the following is a solution of y - x > -3? (6, 2) (2, 6) (2, -1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of the 3 given points, substitute the coordinates into y - x > -3 and determine whether the resulting inequality is true or false:

(6, 2):  2 - 6 > - 3, or -4 > -3.  This is FALSE, so (6, 2) is not a solution.

(2, 6):  6 - 2 > - 3, or 4 > -3.  This is TRUE, so (2, 6) is a solution.

Answer 2

Answer: (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are in the form (x,y)

(6,2)    2-6=-3,  -3≡-3  thus not the answer

(2,6)    6-2=3,  3>-3  

(2,-1)   -1-2=-3,  -3≡-3  thus not the answer
