Q. Does (2,7) make the inequality y≥3x+1 true? Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,7) into the inequality y≥3x+1. The substituted inequality is 7≥3(2)+1.
Calculate right side: Calculate the right side of the inequality 3(2)+1. Simplify this to get 3×2+1=6+1=7.
Evaluate if inequality holds: The inequality 7≥3(2)+1 becomes 7≥7. Now, determine if the point (2,7) makes the inequality y≥3x+1 true. Since 7 is equal to 7, the inequality holds true.
