hello, to solve this question, we need to look the function:


y\text{ }\ge\text{ }(1)/(3)x\text{ +2}

So, let's see the graphics:

remember: for this question, only values equal to or greater than y are of interest

We can solve by attempts:

when x = 0:


\begin{gathered} y\text{ }\ge\text{ }(1)/(3)\cdot0\text{+2} \\ y\ge2 \end{gathered}

At this moment, we can discard two options: A and C.

Why? Because when x = 0, just interest for us y>= 2.

when x = 1:


\begin{gathered} y\text{ }\ge\text{ }(1)/(3)\cdot1\text{+2} \\ y\text{ }\ge2.33 \end{gathered}

when x = 2:


\begin{gathered} y\text{ }\ge\text{ }(1)/(3)\cdot2\text{+2} \\ y\ge2.66 \end{gathered}

As we have the sign "greater than or equal to", we can conclude that it is a closed representation, so the line must be continuous.

Right answer: B.
