Question

Is (-5,-8) a solution of y>3x+6

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out if a point works with it's equation, you should replace the x and y with the point you got

-8 > 3(-5)+6

-8 > -15 +6

-8 > -9

Since -8 is bigger than -9, point (-5,-8) is true to the equation.

and as seen in the graph I have attached, the point does infact reside in the shaded in area. If you haven't learned how to graph this type of equation, you may disregard the graph :)

If you have any questions at all, don't be afraid to ask :)
