Doesthepoint(–3, –5)satisfytheinequality y > 1/3x − 9?
To determine if the point (-3, -5) satisfies the inequality y > (1/3)x - 9, we substitute the given values into the inequality and check if the inequality holds true.
Substituting x = -3 and y = -5 into the inequality:
-5 > (1/3)(-3) - 9
-5 > (-1) - 9
-5 > -10
Since -5 is greater than -10, the inequality holds true.
Therefore, the point (-3, -5) satisfies the inequality y > (1/3)x - 9.
