The system of inequalities in the graph is:

y ≥ (1/2)x - 1

y < -3x + 1

How to find the system of inequalities?

First we need to find the two lines.

First the line with positive slope, remember that the general equation of a line is:

y = ax + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We can see that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1, so:

y = ax - 1

It also passes through (2, 0), then:

0 = a*2 - 1

1 = 2a

1/2 = a

And the region shaded is above the line, and the line is solid, so we can write:

y ≥ (1/2)x - 1

The other inequality is a dashed line and the region shaded is below the line.

the y-intercept in this case is: y = 1

y = ax + 1

And it also passes through (1, -2), so:

-2 = a*1 + 1

-2 - 1 = a

-3 = a

The inequality is:

y < -3x + 1

The system is:

y ≥ (1/2)x - 1

y < -3x + 1
