Final answer:
The inequality corresponding to the given verbal description is y ≥ 5x + (-3), indicating that y is at least five times x minus three.
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality for the verbal description "The value of y is greater than or equal to the sum of five times the value of x and negative three" is represented by the inequality y ≥ 5x + (-3). This means that y is greater than or equal to 5 times x minus 3.
The correct answer to choose from the provided options would be (a) y ≥ 5x + (-3). The inequality symbol ≥ indicates that y can be equal to as well as greater than the expression on the right-hand side. This is a typical example of linear inequality.
