Question 877104: Identify whether (-4,8) is a solution to y + 6x ≥ -5x + 8
a. yes, the point is a solution
b. no, the point is not a solution

Plug (x,y) = (-4,8) into the inequality


If you get a true inequality when you evaluate/simplify both sides, then (-4,8) is a solution.


If you get a false inequality when you evaluate/simplify both sides, then (-4,8) is not a solution.

Replace every x with -4


Replace every y with 8





This is FALSE, so (-4,8) is NOT a solution.
