Question

Consider the linear inequality:

y > −x + 3

Determine whether the ordered pair (5,-2) is a solution of the inequality.

If the ordered pair is a solution, explain why.

Answer 1

The ordered pair is a solution of the linear equality.

Explanation:

Whenever you have an equation like that—it's always helpful to remember x come before y in an ordered pair. (x, y). So, from there plug the numbers into the inequality and solve.

5 > - 2 + 3
5 > 1
