Q. Does the point (2,8) satisfy the inequality y≥2x+8 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values: Substitute the values of the point (2,8) into the inequality y≥2x+8. The substituted inequality is 8≥2(2)+8.
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the inequality 2(2)+8. This simplifies to 4+8, which equals 12.
Check for truth: The inequality now reads 8≥12. Determine if this is a true statement.
Final evaluation: Since 8 is not greater than or equal to 12, the statement 8≥12 is false. Therefore, the point (2,8) does not satisfy the inequality y≥2x+8.
