Question 63088: My question are true or false questions.
The coordinate (4,-3) is part of the solution set of the linear inequality y>2x-12
The coordinate (2,4) is not part of the solution set of the linear inequality

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1) The coordinate (4,-3) is part of the solution set of the linear inequality y>2x-12
This statement is TRUE
When we plug in x = 4 and y = -3, we get,
-3 > 2(4) - 12
==> -3 > 8 - 12
==> -3 > -4 which is true.
(2) The coordinate (2,4) is not part of the solution set of the linear inequality
This statement is FALSE
When we plug in x = 2 and y = 4, we get,
4 > 2(2) - 12
==> 4 > 4 - 12
==> 4 > - 8 which is true.
So (2,4) is part of the solution to the given inequality.

Good Luck!!!
