Answer

No, it is not a solution.

Work Step by Step

To solve for this you input (-1,4) into the equation y<2x+5, replacing -1 for the x and 4 for the y. (4)<2(−1)+5 Then, solve: 4<3 This now reads 4 is less than three which cannot be true which means that (-1,4) is not a solution of the inequality.
