The blue region consists on the intersection of two regions. The region above the decreasing line, and the region below the increasing line. Those lines are


\begin{cases}y=x+8 \\ y=-(1)/(2)x\end{cases}

Those are the boundaries of those regions. Since both lines are dashed lines, the regions do not include those lines. The increasing line is the one with the positive slope


y=x+8

Since our region is below this line, the y values must be less than the values on this line, and the inequality that represents this region is


yThe decreasing line is the one with the negative slope[tex]y=-(1)/(2)x

Since our region is above this line, the y values must be greater than the values on this line, and the inequality that represents this region is


y>-(1)/(2)x

Combining those two regions, we have their intersection which is the desired blue region


y-(1)/(2)x
