Question

Is (-1, 0) a solution to this inequality?

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

y < -2x -2 Substitute in -1 for x and 0 for y and see if the statement is true.

0 < -2(-1) - 2

0 < 2-2

0 < 0

This is a false statement.

Answer 2

Answer: A / No.

Explanation:

We will substitute the point given, (-1, 0) and see if the inequality is true after simplifying.

Given:

y < -2x - 2

Substitue:

0 < -2(-1) - 2

Multiply:

0 < 2 - 2

Subtract:

0 < 0 ✗

0 is not less than 0, so this point is not a solution.
