Answer: y > -1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation: first, in order to find the inequalities you should find the gradient by choosing two points from the line and you should you the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the gradient.

Next, you should find the y-intercept in order to complete the inequality it can be easily found as the y-intercept is the place where the line crosses the y axis

Then you create your equation { y = -1/2x + 2 } and then if above the line is shaded then it is {> greater than} and if below the line is shaded then it should be {< less than}

(so you should replace the equation with the lesser or greater sign according to the way the graph is shaded)
