Q. Does the point (3,9) satisfy the inequality y>2x+2?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values of the point (3,9) into the inequality y > 2x + 2. The substituted inequality is 9 > 2(3) + 2.
Calculate right side: Calculate the right side of the inequality 2(3)+2. Simplify this to get 2×3=6 and then add 2 to get 8.
Evaluate if inequality is true: The inequality 9 > 2(3) + 2 simplifies to 9 > 8. Now, determine if the point (3,9) makes the inequality y > 2x + 2 true. Since 9 is greater than 8, the statement 9 > 8 is true.
