Question

(-3, 4) is one of many solutions to the inequality: 2x + y > -2. True or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check whether (-3, 4) satisfies the given inequality 2x + y > -2.

Replacing x with -3 and y with 4 yields                          2(-3) + (4) > - 2

or:

-6 + 4 > -2, or -2 > -2.  This end result is false, and so (-3, 4) is NOT a solution of the given inequality 2x + y > -2.
