Answer:

Below the solid line.

Explanation:

When you solve for y, you will have a less than or equal to sign, so the shading is below the line.

Answer:

Below the solid line

Explanation:

−4y − x ≥ 7

We need to solve for y

Add x to each side

−4y − x +x≥ 7+x

-4y ≥ 7+x

Divide each side by -4. Remember to flip the inequality

−4y/-4 ≤ (7+x)/-4

y ≤ -1/4 x - 7/4


Y is less than or equal to the value so the line is solid (equals sign)

and below ( less than)
