Math Question Help!!!! Geometry?

(2,4). Ordered pairs are traditionally understood to refer to horizontal, vertical coordinates which almost since analytic geometry was invented was refered to as the x and y coordinates. Hence (2,4) means the point in the Cartesian coordinate plane where the line defined by all points whose horizontal component is 2, which is to say x=2, intersects with the line defined by all points whose vertical component is 4, which is to say, by these conventions, that y=4. Now knowing that the first number in each ordered pair is the value of x and the second is the value of y, the x and y values for each possible answer could be plugged into the inequality given revealing that the only answer that satisfies the inequality is the first one with x=2 and y=4. None of the others could satisfy the inequality because thye all evaluate to negative numbers and the inequality requires that 3x+4y evaluate to a number greater than 17 whereas all the other possible answers evaluate to negative numbers which are always less than any positive number.
