Answer 1

To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality \(2y - x \leq -6\), we can substitute each pair into the inequality and see if it holds true.

1. For the pair \((-3, 0)\):
\[
2(0) - (-3) = 0 + 3 = 3 \quad \text{(not valid since \(3 \not\leq -6\))}
\]

2. For the pair \((1, -4)\):
\[
2(-4) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9 \quad \text{(valid since \(-9 \leq -6\))}
\]

3. For the pair \((2, -2)\):
\[
2(-2) - 2 = -4 - 2 = -6 \quad \text{(valid since \(-6 \leq -6\))}
\]

4. For the pair \((6, 1)\):
\[
2(1) - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4 \quad \text{(not valid since \(-4 \not\leq -6\))}
\]

5. For the pair \((0, -3)\):
\[
2(-3) - 0 = -6 - 0 = -6 \quad \text{(valid since \(-6 \leq -6\))}
\]

Based on these calculations, the ordered pairs that are solutions to the inequality \(2y - x \leq -6\) are:

- \((1, -4)\)
- \((2, -2)\)
- \((0, -3)\)
