Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)
=========================================
How I got this answer:
Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.
-------------
checking choice A
plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)



This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.
-------------
checking choice B
plug in (x,y) = (2,4)



This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice C
plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)



This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice D
plug in (x,y) = (3,4)



This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
To solve this problem we need to know the equivalence between yards and inches, that is:
1 yd = 36 inches
Therefore in 8 yd we have:
8(36) = 288
so in 8 yd we have 288 inches
So 8 yd is equal to 288 in
As a fraction: 287/100
As a mixed number: 2 87/100

Remember, "%" means exactly the same thing as "/100".
It would be the = sign because 2+3 equals 5, and so does 4+1.
