Select each correct answer.

(0, −2)(0, −2)


(−6, −3)(−6, −3)


(1, −1)(1, −1)


(7, 12)

Verified Answer :

we will proceed to resolve each case to determine the solution

we have

\(y-2x \leq -3\)

\(y\leq2x-3\)

we know that

If an ordered pair is the solution of the inequality, then it must satisfy the inequality.

case a) \((5,-3)\)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

\(-3\leq2*5-3\)

\(-3\leq7\) -------> is true

so

The ordered pair \((5,-3)\) is a solution

case b) \((0,-2)\)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

\(-2\leq2*0-3\)

\(-2\leq-3\) -------> is False

so

The ordered pair \((0,-2)\) is not a solution

case c) \((-6,-3)\)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

\(-3\leq2*-6-3\)

\(-3\leq-15\) -------> is False

so

The ordered pair\((-6,-3)\) is not a solution

case d) \((1,-1)\)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

\(-1\leq2*1-3\)

\(-1\leq-1\) -------> is True

so

The ordered pair \((1,-1)\) is a solution

case e) \((7,12)\)

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

\(12\leq2*7-3\)

\(12\leq11\) -------> is False

so

The ordered pair \((7,12)\) is not a solution

Verify

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the shaded  area below the line

The points A and D lies on the shaded area, therefore the ordered pairs A and D are solution of the inequality
