Choose the linear inequality that describes the graph. The gray area represents the shaded region.

Answer:
2x + 3y ≥ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
See the graph attached.
The bold straight line passes through the points (1,1) and (4,-1).
Therefore, the equation of the straight line will be
[tex]\frac{y + 1}{- 1 - 1} = \frac{x - 4}{4 - 1}[/tex]
⇒ 3(y + 1) = - 2(x - 4)
⇒ 3y + 3 = - 2x + 8
⇒ 2x + 3y = 5 ............. (1)
Now, the shaded region i.e. the solution to the inequality does not include the origin(0,0).
So, putting x = 0 and y = 0 in the equation (1) we get, 0 < 5
Therefore, the inequality equation is 2x + 3y ≥ 5 (Answer)
