In-s [12.5K]

Answer :-

Given inequality ,

-5x +3y > 12
3y > 5x + 12
y > 5/3x + 12/3
y > 5/3x + 4

From the options ,

When x is 3 and y = 9

y >1* 5 + 4
y > 5 +4
9> 9 ( Not possible )

When x is -5 y is 5

y > 5/3*-5 + 4
y > -8.3 + 4
5 > -3.7 ( Possible )

When x is 3 y is -6

y > 5 + 4
-6 > 9 ( Not possible )

When x is -2 y is -5

y > -3.33 + 4
-5 > -0.67 ( Possible )

When x is 2 y is 8

y > 3.33 + 4
8 > 7.77 ( possible )

When x is -6 y is 0

y > -10 +4
0 > -6 ( possible )
