The video will show you how to plot points in 3D using the axes of the 3D coordinate system. Make sure you're wearing your special glasses for this...
When graphing inequalities, you graph the line, shade the corresponding side, and plug in the point. The end!
One formula to rule them all, one formula to find them. One formula to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. Or something like that. I...

Which ordered pair is not on the line shown?
- 00:08
And here are your options...
- 00:12
OK so it's one of those "NOT" questions. Which means we have to go through each answer
- 00:17
choice to figure out which one of those ordered pairs is NOT on the line...(0,1).

Yup the line intersects the y-axis
- 00:25
at (0,1). (-4, -2)...yeah... the line intersects that
- 00:29
point in the bottom left-hand quadrant of the coordinate plane.
- 00:32
(-4, -1)...wait didn't we just have the x coordinate of -4 correspond with the y-coordinate
- 00:38
of negative 2?
- 00:41
The definition of functions tells us that that every input has one and only one output.
- 00:46
So if (-4,-2) is on the line... (-4,-1) can't be. Looks like our answer has to be C.
- 00:54
But just to be sure...(4,5) is on the line in the upper right hand corner here...
- 00:58
Last choice...(2, 2.5). The graph doesn't
- 01:02
have perfect tick marks...but it looks close enough...definitely more accurate than (-4,-1).
- 01:07
So our answer is indeed C.
