Hello!
Lets go through each choice, and determine if it is correct.
So, the symbol ≤, means less than or equal to. So our answer must be less than -75 or -75 on the dot.
A: y = 75
Okay, so we can tell this one is wrong off the bat. 75 is much more than -75. (Make sure you notice the symbol!) So it cannot be equal to said answer. A is wrong.
B: y =-74
Another trick question! When you are in the negatives, less is more! So -74 is actually greater than -75. This is also incorrect!
C: y > -75
This one is straight forward. Our equation up top strictly says less than or equal too, while C says greater than. Incorrect!
D: y = -75
The last answer! We see that the symbol in our equation up top says less than or equal too, and y = -75 is equal. This is the correct answer.
Our correct answer is D: y = -75
