Question 10 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Which points are solutions to the linear inequality y is less than 0 point 5 x plus 2 ? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
negative 2 comma 1
B
negative 3 comma negative 2
C
negative 1 comma 2
D
1 comma negative 2
E
negative 1 comma negative 2

Explanation

Substitute each point’s x- and y-coordinates into y < 0.5x + 2. For (1, −2), the right side is 2.5, and −2 < 2.5; for (−1, −2), it is 1.5, and −2 < 1.5; for (−3, −2), it is 0.5, and −2 < 0.5. These three points are solutions. Point (−2, 1) gives equality, not a strict inequality, and (−1, 2) does not satisfy the inequality.
