The system of inequalities in the graph is:

y ≥ x

y > (-2/3)*x + 2

How to find the system?

Here we have a system of linear inequalities, so we need to find both inequalities.

First we can see a solid line with positive slope, we can see taht the shaded area is above the line, then we can write:

y ≥ line

Now, this line intercepts the y-axis at y = 0, and for each unit that we move to the right we move one unit up, so the line is y = x, then the inequality is:

y ≥ x

Then we can see that the other inequality is a dashed line, again, the shaded region is above the line:

y > ax + b

Here the y-intercept is y = 2

y > ax + 2

And it passes through (3, 0), then:

0 = a*3 + 2

-2 = a*3

-2/3 = a

This inequality is:

y > (-2/3)*x + 2

The system is:

y ≥ x

y > (-2/3)*x + 2
