Explanation

Choice D is correct. Since the shaded region shown represents the solutions to an inequality, an ordered pair $(x, y)$ is a solution to the inequality if it's represented by a point in the shaded region. Of the given choices, only $left parenthesis 6 comma negative 2 right parenthesis$ is represented by a point in the shaded region. Therefore, the ordered pair $left parenthesis 6 comma negative 2 right parenthesis$ is a solution to this inequality.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
