Two points.
(I) Shaded region is in the quadrant where x>0 and y<0.
so only (9,-7) and (7,-9) are left.
Now the line passes through (10,10) and (0,0), so all points on the line have x=y.
the slope is lesser in the shaded region, which is above the line. Here the value of y should be lesser than the numeric value of x without the sign..
So |9|>|-7|
Answer: A

Use Process of Elimination to solve this one. First, only coordinate pairs with a positive x-value and a negative y-value will fall in the proper quadrant, so eliminate choices (B), (C), and (E). The line that divides the correct quadrant into shaded and unshaded regions has a slope of −1 because it goes through the origin and the point (−10, 10). On this line, the absolute value of the x-coordinate equals the absolute value of the y-coordinate. In the shaded region, then, |x|>|y|, so choice (D) can be eliminated. Only choice (A) remains. Alternatively, realize that this figure is drawn accurately, because of the placement of (10, −10), and plot all 5 points, eliminating all of those that fall outside the shaded region.
