x is the temperature and y is the number of swimmers. If there are 80 swimmers, then y = 80 instead of x = 80
This is how Corey should have solved
y = 1.505*x - 88.21
80 = 1.505*x - 88.21 <--- replace y with 80
1.505*x - 88.21 = 80
1.505*x = 80 + 88.21 <--- add 88.21 to both sides
1.505*x = 168.21
x = 168.21/1.505 <--- divide both sides by 1.505
x = 111.767
x = 111.8
If there are 80 swimmers at the pool, then the possible outside temperature is roughly 111.8 degrees F. This temperature seems awfully large, so it's possible that Corey's regression equation has limited scope; in other words, it isn't too useful if x is outside a given interval

Fill your inequality in with the y and x provided and then do the math. (4, -1) would fill in like this (I will use brackets to indicate absolute value symbols, since there are none in the equation editor): ![-1\ \textgreater \ [4]-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-1%5C%20%5Ctextgreater%20%5C%20%5B4%5D-5)
The right side is in fact equal to the left side so that's not the answer. For (-1, -4): ![-4\ \textgreater \ [-1]-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-4%5C%20%5Ctextgreater%20%5C%20%5B-1%5D-5)
and these are also equal. Let's try C now (-4, 1): ![1\ \textgreater \ [-4]-5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%5C%20%5Ctextgreater%20%5C%20%5B-4%5D-5)
. The absolute vale of -4 is 4 so 4 - 5 = -1 which is, in fact, less than 1. So C is our answer.
