Question

The solution set to the inequality y<2x - 4 are shaded on the graph. Which point is a solution

Answer 1

Any set of numbers (x, y) for which this inequality is true is a solution.

For example, the point (1, -5) is a solution because fitting it into the inequality gives us

- 5 < - 2   which is true.

However, the point (3, 5) wouldn't be a solution because it would give us the inequality

5 < 2    which is not true.
