Determine whether the given point is a solution to the linear inequality.
x - y ≤ -6: (-5, 3)

This problem requires you to simply plug in the values associated with that point (- 5, 3) into the inequality and then determine if the inequality is true.

x+-+y+%3C=+-+6

-+5+-+3+%3C=+-+6 ------ Substituting (- 5, 3) for (x, y)

highlight_green%28-+8+%3C=+-+6%29 ------> This is TRUE, so the given point, (- 5, 3) is DEFINITELY a solution to the linear inequality.
