How many of the following points satisfy the inequality 2x-3y≤ -5?
A. (0, -1)
B. (0, 1)
C. (-4, 0)
D. (4, 0)
To check if a point satisfies the inequality, we can substitute each of the x and y values given in the choices to see which of them is correct.
(A) 2(0) + 3(-1) =< -5
-3 =< -5
This is incorrect so the point does not satisfy the expression
(B). 2(0) + 3(1) =< -5
3 =< -5
This one's also incorrect
(C). 2(-4) + 3(0) =< -5
-5 =< -5
This one is true since they are equal, so this point satisfies the equation
(D). 2(4) + 3(0) =< -5
11 =< -5
This one is incorrect
So the correct answer is C, (-4, 0)
