Hi,

A school provides bus service only to students who live a distance greater than 2 miles away from the school. 

On a coordinate plane, the school is located at the origin, and David lives at 

the closest point to the school on Vine Street, which can be represented by the line y=5x-4

If each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 mile, 

does David live far enough from the school for bus service? No
