To determine whether the point (0, -3) is a solution to the inequality \( y > 45x - 3 \), we first need to check where the point (0, -3) lies in relation to the boundary line given by the equation \( y = 45x - 3 \).
-
Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the equation: \[ y = 45(0) - 3 = -3. \] This means that the boundary line passes through the point (0, -3).
-
Since this is an inequality \( y > 45x - 3 \), the boundary line \( y = 45x - 3 \) is not included in the solution set. Therefore, points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.
Given that (0, -3) falls on the boundary line of the inequality (and not above it), the correct response would be:
No, because (0, -3) falls on the boundary line.
