−42x − 6y > 24

Because we have ">", it could be one of the top graphs.

−42x − 6y > 24 ----> - 7x -y > 4, y < -7x -4

Answer is top right (B).

Answer:

Graph on the top right will be the answer.

Explanation:

The given inequality is -42x - 6y > 24

We can rewrite the given equation in the simplified form

-42x - 6y > 24

42x + 6y < -24

7x + y < -4 [divide by 6 on both the sides]

y < -7x - 4

Since the given line has the sign of less than (no sign of equality), the line will be in the dotted form.

Since inequality sign represents less than, shaded area will be on the left side of the dotted line.

Therefore, Graph on the top right will be the answer.
