Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided inequality, and the provided ordered pairs, we are going to check it, replacing one by one in the inequality, in case the inequality is fulfilled then they are solution, otherwise it will not be, so we obtain the following:

(2, 0):

6x + 5y > 2

6(2)+5(0)>2

12+0>2

12>0

Since the inequality holds, then the ordered pair is a solution.

(7, -8):

6x + 5y > 2

6(7)+5(-8) > 2

42-40>2

2>2

Since the inequality is not satisfied, then the ordered pair is not a solution.

(3, 2):

6x + 5y > 2

6(3)+5(2) >2

18+10>2

28>2

Since the inequality holds, then the ordered pair is a solution.

(-8, 6):

6x + 5y > 2

6(-8)+5(6) >2

-48 + 30 > 2

-18 > 2

Since the inequality is not satisfied, then the ordered pair is not a solution.
