Determine if (-3,-4) is a Solution 5x-y>-2 , (-3,-4)

$5 x - y > - 2$ , $(- 3, - 4)$

Step 1

Insert the values of $x = - 3$ and $y = - 4$ into the equation to find if the ordered pair is a solution.

$5 (- 3) - (- 4) > - 2$

Step 2

Simplify $5 (- 3) - (- 4)$ .

Simplify each term.

Multiply $5$ by $- 3$ .

$- 15 - (- 4) > - 2$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 4$ .

$- 15 + 4 > - 2$

Add $- 15$ and $4$ .

$- 11 > - 2$

Step 3

The inequality is never true.

No solution

Step 4

Since the equation is not true when the values are used, the ordered pair is not a solution.

The ordered pair is not a solution to the equation.
