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.

Concept Check

If substitution makes a false statement, the point is:

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?
