Answer:

d. 4x+3y≤12

Explanation:

To solve the problem we need to find the equation of the red line, since it is part of the inequality.

This should be like the following y=mx+b, where 'm' is the slope.

The slope can be obtained using the following equation:


m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

If we use the points given by the graph (0,4) and (3,0) we will obtain that m=-4/3

Now, to find 'b' we just need to evaluate any point ine equation y=mx+b. iike (0,4).

4=-4/3*0 + b.

b=4

Our line has the following equation: y= -(4/3)*x +4, that can be written in standard form as 3y+4x=12

The region is below the graph, hence our inequality shoul be 3y+4x<=12.

The iqual sign part comes watching the graph, the line is drawn using solid line, hence the line is included in the region.
