Which is the graph of linear inequality x – 2y ≥ –12?

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line with positive slope goes through (negative 8, 2) and (0, 6). Everything to the right of the line is shaded.

On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line with positive slope goes through (negative 8, 2) and (0, 6). Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

x-2y≥-12

-2y≥-x-12

y≤0.5x+6

has to be a solid line since y is less than or equal to 0.5x+6

so, options 1 and 3 are not applicable

also, in y≤0.5x+6 , y is less than or equal to this line, thus it only exists on the line and to the right of it (below it)

so, option 2 is wrong also, leaving us with option 4 or D, which in this case is the answer

I attached a file of this inequality's graph to prove my answer once more
