To identify the inequality graphed you need to identify the equation of the line that limits the inequality:

To identify the equiation of the line you need to dinf the slope:

Use two points on the line: (0 , - 4) and (3,0)

Formula to find the slope:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)
m=(0-(-4))/(3-0)=(4)/(3)

The y - intercept (b) is the value of y when x=0 in this case the b is -4

You have the equation in slope-interpcept form:


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \\ y=(4)/(3)x-4 \end{gathered}

Substract -4/3 x in btoh sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} y-(4)/(3)x=(4)/(3)x-(4)/(3)x-4 \\ \\ y-(4)/(3)x=-4 \end{gathered}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:


3y-4x=-12

Multiply for -1 both sides of the equation:

Equation of the line:


4x-3y=12As the shadow area is under the line the inequality is:
4x-3y\leq12
