Concept
Substitute x and y values into the inequality. If the statement is true, the point is a solution.
Try it
Check whether (2, 5) satisfies y > 2x + 1.
๐ Coordinate Grapher
Graph the boundary and test whether points fall in the solution region.
y = y = 1x
Common Misconception
Always verify your result in context instead of trusting a first pass.
Point-check flow for inequalities
These steps are out of order โ can you fix them?
1.Substitute x and y
2.Simplify both sides
3.Compare values
4.Conclude true/false
Short Answer
Why must you use both coordinates when testing a point?
