Answer:

The linear inequality that is represented by the graph is:


y\leq (1)/(2)x+3

Explanation:

From the graph of the given function we see that the graph is a solid line passing through (0,3) and (-6,0) and the shading is towards the origin.

Hence, we will check each of the given options.

A)


y\leq 2x+4

We see that the line of this inequality is a line passing through (0,4) and (-2,0) and shading towards the origin.

Hence, option: A is incorrect.

C)


y\geq (1)/(2)x+3

The graph of this inequality is a solid line passing through (0,3) and (-6,0) and the shading is away from the origin.

Hence, option: C is incorrect.

D)


y\geq 2x+3

The graph of this inequality is a solid line passing through the point (0,3) and (-3/2,0) and shading away from the origin.

Hence, option: D is incorrect.

B)


y\leq (1)/(2)x+3

When we plot the graph of this inequality we see that it matches the given graph.

Hence, option: B is the correct answer.
