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.
