Q. Is (1,10) a solution to the inequality y<5x+5 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (1,10) into the inequality y<5x+5. The substituted inequality is 10<5(1)+5.
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the inequality 5(1)+5. This simplifies to 5+5, which equals 10.
Determine truth or false: The inequality now reads 10<10. Determine if this statement is true or false. Since 10 is not less than 10, the statement is false.
Evaluate point in inequality: Since the statement 10<10 is false, the point (1,10) does not make the inequality y<5x+5 true.
