Question

(2,-1) is one of many solutions to the inequality:X – 3y <1A.TrueB.False

Answer 1

In order for

`(2,-1)`

to be a valid solution for the inequality

`x-3y<1`

The inequality must remain true when we plug in 2 as x and -1 as y.

Let's check out if this happens:

`\begin{gathered} x-3y<1\rightarrow2-3(-1)<1\rightarrow2+3<1 \\ 5<1\text{ isn't true} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, (2 -1) is not a valid solution for the inequality

(Option B: False)
