Question

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP!! Explain your answer

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality x + 3y ≥ -8?
Select each correct answer.

Answer 1

exactly what you already picked

(-5,-1)

(-6,0)

(-1,-2)

Explanation:

x + 3y ≥ -8

(0,-3)

0 + 3*-3 = -9 . -9 is NOT greater than -8. Do not select this point.

(-5,-1)

-5 + 3*-1 = -5 + -3 = -8 so YES PICK THIS POINT.

(-6,0)

-6 + 3*0 = -6, which is greater than -8 so PICK THIS POINT.

(-16,2)

-16 + 3*2 = -16+6 = -11, -11 which is NOT greater than -8 so don't pick this point.

(-1,-2)

-1 + 3*-2 = -1 + -6 = -7 which is greater than -8, so PICK THIS POINT.
