For this case, the first thing to do is find the equation of the line correctly and then see which of the inequalities represents the shaded region.
We have then:
5x - y = 2
For x = 0
5 (0) - y = 2
-y = 2
y = -2
For y = 0
5x - 0 = 2
5x = 2
x = 2/5 = 0.4
Therefore the line is:
5x - y = 2
Then, we see that for the point (0, 0)
5x - y ≥ 2
5 (0) - (0) ≥ 2
0 ≥ 2
The inequality is not met, which is correct because this point is not part of the shaded region.
Answer:
The inequality that best is represented by the graph if:
5x - y ≥ 2
