2. Which ordered pair is a solution of y > 5x - 2?


A. (1,5)
B. (2,7)
C. (3,13)
D. (4,4)

Is it A?

Let's check:

x=1; y=5

5>5*1-2
5>3
Correct.

To determine which ordered pair is a solution of y > 5x - 2, we need to substitute the x and y values from each pair into the inequality and check if it's true. Let's check the options:

A. (1,5)
Substituting the values, we have 5 > 5(1) - 2.
This simplifies to 5 > 3.
The inequality is true.

B. (2,7)
Substituting the values, we have 7 > 5(2) - 2.
This simplifies to 7 > 8.
The inequality is false.

C. (3,13)
Substituting the values, we have 13 > 5(3) - 2.
This simplifies to 13 > 13.
The inequality is false.

D. (4,4)
Substituting the values, we have 4 > 5(4) - 2.
This simplifies to 4 > 18.
The inequality is false.

Therefore, the ordered pair that is a solution of y > 5x - 2 is option A.

To determine which ordered pair is a solution of y > 5x - 2, we need to substitute the x and y values of each option into the inequality and check if the inequality holds true.

Let's start with option A, (1,5).

Substituting x = 1 and y = 5 into the inequality, we get:
5 > 5(1) - 2
5 > 5 - 2
5 > 3

Since 5 is greater than 3, the inequality holds true for option A.

Now let's check the other options:

For option B, (2,7):
7 > 5(2) - 2
7 > 10 - 2
7 > 8

Since 7 is not greater than 8, the inequality does not hold true for option B.

For option C, (3,13):
13 > 5(3) - 2
13 > 15 - 2
13 > 13

Since 13 is not greater than 13, the inequality does not hold true for option C.

For option D, (4,4):
4 > 5(4) - 2
4 > 20 - 2
4 > 18

Since 4 is not greater than 18, the inequality does not hold true for option D.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
