Which of the following ordered pairs satisfy the inequality? 3x−2y>12

Answer 1

3x-2y > 12

whatever the points are: (x,y), (1,2), (10, 3)

plug in the point and see if it works

(1,2) means x=1, y=2

3(1)-2(2) = 3-4 = -1 which is not greater than 12

(10,3) means x=10, y=3

3(10)-2(3) = 30-6 = 24 which is greater than 12

or if you're in a restaurant, order some pears, then look at the ordered pears the waiter/waitress brings you and see if they fit in the inequality. but if one pear is bigger than the other, that's not a good clue.
