Answer:
Any points in the shaded region including (2,-2) and (-3,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the line into slope intercept form and graph it.
2x-y > 1 becomes -y>1-2x. Divide both sides by -1 and you get y<2x-1. Graph it with the shaded area on the right and a dashed line.
Any point which falls within the shaded red of the graph is a solution. No points on the line since it is not equal to (its dashed) are solutions. Check the location of your points to verify that they fall within this area.
(-3, -8) ---Yes
(-1, -3) ---No
(0, 5) --- No
(1, 6) --- No
(2, -2) ---Yes
