The inequality represented by the graph is y ≤ x + 3.

The graph shows a straight line passing through (-3,0) and (0,-3).

To determine the inequality represented by the line, we need to find the slope and y-intercept.

The slope of the line can be calculated by using the formula: m = (change in y)/(change in x).

Substituting the coordinates, we get: m = (-3 - 0)/(0 - (-3)) = -3/-3 = 1.

The y-intercept can be determined by substituting the coordinates of one of the points into the equation y = mx + b and solving for b.

Using the point (-3,0), we have: 0 = 1*(-3) + b, which gives b = 3.

So, the equation of the line is y = x + 3.

Since the line passes through the points on or below it, the correct inequality is y ≤ x + 3 (Option A).

The probable question may be:

A. y≤-x-3

B. y≥-x+3

C. y≥x-3

D. y≥x+3
