Answer:


\boxed{\bf{\underline{ y\le -\cfrac{3}{2}x-2}}}

Explanation:

From the given graph,


\bf y-intercept :\boxed{\tt -2}


\bf Slope:\tt \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\cfrac{-3}{2} =\boxed{-\cfrac{3}{2} }

Notice that graph is shaded below (not above), so y is less than the other side of the inequality. the graph elso has a solid line (not dashed), so we are dealing with an "or equal to" inequality.

Therefore, we should use the less than or equal to symbol.


\boxed{\bf{ y\le -\cfrac{3}{2}x-2}}
