Math Problem Statement

Does (1,10) make the inequality y>6x+1 true?

Solution

To check if the point (1,10)(1, 10) makes the inequality y>6x+1y > 6x + 1 true, we substitute x=1x = 1 and y=10y = 10 into the inequality and see if it holds.

The inequality is:

y>6x+1y > 6x + 1

Substitute x=1x = 1 into the equation:

y>6(1)+1y > 6(1) + 1 y>6+1y > 6 + 1 y>7y > 7

Now, substitute y=10y = 10:

10>710 > 7

Since 1010 is indeed greater than 77, the inequality is true. Therefore, the point (1,10)(1, 10) satisfies the inequality y>6x+1y > 6x + 1.
