Q. Does (2,9) make the inequality y≤3x+2 true? Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values 2,9 into the inequality y≤3x+2. The substituted inequality is 9≤3(2)+2.
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the inequality 3(2)+2. This simplifies to 6+2, which equals 8.
Check if statement is true: The inequality now reads 9≤8. Determine if this statement is true or false.
Verify point in inequality: Since 9 is not less than or equal to8, the statement 9≤8 is false. Therefore, the point (2,9) does not make the inequality y≤3x+2 true.
