Determine whether the ordered pairs given are solutions of the linear inequality in two variables.
-x + 2y

Question

Determine whether the ordered pairs given are solutions of the linear inequality in two variables.
-x + 2y < -6: (0, 0)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substituting the given values, we get:
0 + 2(0) < -6
0 < -6
This is not true, so (0,0) is not a solution of the inequality. When we substitute (0,0) into the inequality, we get:

0 + 2(0) < -6

Simplifying the left side gives us:

0 < -6

This is a false statement, so (0,0) is not a solution to the inequality. Therefore, the answer is B) No.
