Determine if (-1,-4) is a Solution x+y<=-3 , (-1,-4)

$x + y \leq - 3$ , $(- 1, - 4)$

Step 1

Insert the values of $x = - 1$ and $y = - 4$ into the equation to find if the ordered pair is a solution.

$- 1 - 4 \leq - 3$

Step 2

Subtract $4$ from $- 1$ .

$- 5 \leq - 3$

Step 3

Since $- 5 \leq - 3$ , the inequality will always be true.

Always true

Step 4

Since the equation is always true when the values are used, the ordered pair is a solution.

The ordered pair is a solution to the equation.
