Let us test the four inequalities with the point (0,0).

a. y+4 < 3x + 1
Is 0 + 4 < 0 + 1 ? or 4 < 1 ?
NO

b. y - 1 < 3x - 4
Is 0 - 1 < 0 - 4 or -1 < -4 ?
NO

c. y + 4 < 3x - 1
Is 0 + 4 < 0 + 1 or 4 < 1 ?
NO

d. y - 4 < 3x - 1
Is 0 - 4 < 0 - 1 or -4 < -1 ?
YES

Answer:  d. y - 4 < 3x - 1

Answer: d. [tex]y-4<3x-1[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The point (0,0) is a solution to which of the given  inequalities.

Let's check all inequalities :

a.  [tex]y+4 <3x+1[/tex]

Substitute (x,y) = (0,0) , we get

[tex]0+4 <3(0)+1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 4 <1[/tex] , which is wrong.

So , The point (0,0) is not a solution for [tex]y+4 <3x+1[/tex].

b.  [tex]y-1<3x-4[/tex]

Substitute (x,y) = (0,0) , we get

[tex]0-1<3(0)-4[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ -1<-4[/tex]

Multiply (-1) on both sides , we get

[tex]1>4[/tex]  , which is wrong.

[Note : when we multiply a negative number to both sides of an inequality then the inequality sign gets reversed. ]

So , The point (0,0) is not a solution for [tex]y-1<3x-4[/tex].

c. [tex]y+4<3x-1[/tex]

Substitute (x,y) = (0,0) , we get

[tex]0+4<3(0)-1[/tex]

[tex]4<-1[/tex] , which is wrong.

So , The point (0,0) is not a solution for [tex]y+4<3x-1[/tex].

d. [tex]y-4<3x-1[/tex]

Substitute (x,y) = (0,0) , we get

[tex]0-4<3(0)-1[/tex]

[tex]-4<-1[/tex]

Multiply (-1) on both sides , we get

[tex]4>1[/tex], which is correct.

[Note : when we multiply a negative number to both sides of an inequality then the inequality sign gets reversed. ]

So , The point (0,0) is a solution for [tex]y-4<3x-1[/tex].
