Math Problem Statement
determine if (2,10) is a solution for the inequality y>5x−2 ? Be sure to state if (2,10) is a solution or not.
Solution
We are tasked with determining if the point is a solution to the inequality .
Step 1: Substitute and into the inequality.
The inequality is .
Substitute and into the inequality:
Step 2: Simplify the right-hand side.
Step 3: Check if the inequality holds true.
Since is true, the point satisfies the inequality.
Conclusion:
Yes, is a solution to the inequality .

- What happens if the point is on the boundary line ?
- How do you test a point for inequalities with "less than" instead of "greater than"?
- What is the significance of the slope and y-intercept in graphing inequalities?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always test points carefully by substitution to verify whether they satisfy the inequality!
