Question

The point (0, 0) is a solution to which of these inequalities?
Group of answer choices

y + 7 < 2x + 6

y – 7 < 2x – 6

y – 6 < 2x – 7

y + 7 < 2x – 6

Answer 1

Plug (x,y) = (0,0) into each:

1) 0 + 7 < 0 + 6 → 7 < 6 (false)
2) 0 − 7 < 0 − 6 → −7 < −6 (true)
3) 0 − 6 < 0 − 7 → −6 < −7 (false)
4) 0 + 7 < 0 − 6 → 7 < −6 (false)

So the solution is: y − 7 < 2x − 6.
