Answer: second option

Explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:


y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Rewrite the expression as:


3x+y=10

Solve for "y":


y=-3x+10

You can identify that:


m=-3\\b=10

Therefore, the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,10)

For the graphs of inequalities with
\geq\ and\ \leq the line must be solid.

The inequality given is
3x+y\geq 10 and it can be written as
y\geq -3x+10

Then, the shaded region must be above the solid line. Therefore it does not include the origin (Observe the graph attached).
