Start with the given inequality: \$4y < 3x - 2$.
Substitute the coordinates of the ordered pair \(\left(\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{8}\right)\) into the inequality, replacing \(x\) with \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(y\) with \(\frac{1}{8}\).
Calculate the left side by multiplying \$4$ by \(\frac{1}{8}\), which gives \(4 \times \frac{1}{8}\).
Calculate the right side by multiplying \$3\( by \(\frac{2}{3}\) and then subtracting \)2$, which gives \(3 \times \frac{2}{3} - 2\).
Compare the two results to check if the inequality \$4y < 3x - 2$ holds true with the substituted values. If the left side is less than the right side, the ordered pair is a solution; otherwise, it is not.
