Answer: "Point A is a solution because it is in the shaded area

Explanation:

When we have an inequality like the one shown in the graph, the shaded area represents the possible solutions to the inequality.

If we have a dashed line, then the points in the line are not solutions (this is the case of the symbols > and < )

If the line is solid, then the points of the line are solutions (this is the case of the symbols ≤ and ≥)

In the graph we can see that point A is inside the shaded area, then point A is a solution.

Then the correct option is:

"Point A is a solution because it is in the shaded area"
