The inequality 5 x - 2 y + 1 > 0 is satisfied by point (-2, -1).
True or False?
well, just plug in the numbers and see whether it's true.
5(-2) - 2(-1) + 1 > 0
-10 + 2 + 1 > 0
-7 > 0
To determine if the inequality is satisfied by the point (-2, -1), we need to substitute the values of x and y into the inequality and check if the resulting statement is true.
The inequality is: 5x - 2y + 1 > 0
Substituting x = -2 and y = -1, we get:
5(-2) - 2(-1) + 1 > 0
-10 + 2 + 1 > 0
-7 > 0
The resulting statement is false since -7 is not greater than 0. Therefore, the inequality is not satisfied by the point (-2, -1).
The answer is False.
