Answer: D
Explanation:
To determine which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality, we can substitute the values of x and y into the inequality and check if it is true.
Let's start with ordered pair A (80, 6):
1/4x ≤ 7/3y + 2
1/4(80) ≤ 7/3(6) + 2
20 ≤ 14 + 2
20 ≤ 16
This is not true, so ordered pair A is not a solution to the inequality.
Now let's try ordered pair B (48, 9):
1/4x ≤ 7/3y + 2
1/4(48) ≤ 7/3(9) + 2
12 ≤ 21 + 2
12 ≤ 23
This is also not true, so ordered pair B is not a solution to the inequality.
Next, let's try ordered pair C (40, 3):
1/4x ≤ 7/3y + 2
1/4(40) ≤ 7/3(3) + 2
10 ≤ 7 + 2
10 ≤ 9
This is false, so option C is not a solution to the inequality.
Finally, we have option D: (2, -6)
1/4(2) ≤ 7/3(-6) + 2
1/2 ≤ -14 + 2
1/2 ≤ -12
This is true, so option D is a solution to the inequality.
Therefore, the answer is D: (2, -6).
