4-35.

Multiple Choice: Which of the points below is a solution to $y<|x-3|$ ?

Hint:

Test each point in the inequality to see if it makes the inequality true.

$(2,1)$
Help (A):
For the point $(2,1)$ :
$1<|2−3|$
$1<|−1|$
$1<1$
The resulting inequality is not true because $1$ is not less than $1$ .
Therefore $(2,1)$ is not a solution.

$(-4,5)$

$(-2,8)$

$(0,3)$
