Question

Which of the following points is a solution of y > |x| + 5? A) (1,7) B) (0,5) C) (7,1)

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

We can plug in all of the x and y values to check if the point is a solution to the inequality.

Point A: x = 1, y = 7

7 > |1| + 5

7 > 1 + 5

7 > 6

This is a true statement, which means that this point is a solution to the inequality. We don't have to check any more points since we have found our answer.
