Select any one of the given ordered pairs. Replace in the inequality with the first value in the ordered pair. Replace in the inequality with the second value in the ordered pair. Do the indicated arithmetic. Examine the result: If you have true statement, then the ordered pair is an element of the solution set of the inequality. If you have a false statement, the ordered pair is NOT an element of the solution set. Repeat for the other two given ordered pairs.

For your given problem, at least one (maybe more, maybe not) of the three given ordered pairs is an element of the solution set of the given inequality.
