Question

What point is a solution for the linear inequality below?

A. (4, 3)
B.(-2, 4)
C.(-4,1)
D.(1, -2)

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

Any point in the highlighted (red) region will be in our solution set.

Note that our line is dotted. Thus, any points on the line is not in our solution set.

So, we can simply go through each point and check.

A is on the line. So, A is not a solution.

B is within the red region. Hence, B is our solution.

C is on the line. So, C is not a solution.

And D is not in the red region. So, D is not a solution.

Therefore, our answer is B.
