Answer:

The inequality -3x + 2y ≥ 7 matches the graph ⇒ D

Explanation:

The slope of the line whose equation is ax + by = c is m =
(-a)/(b)

From the given graph

∵ The direction of the line is increased from left to right

∴ The slope of the line is positive

∵ The line is solid and the shaded area is over the line

∴ The sign of inequality should be

→ We have only one answer that has a sign of inequality ≥, let us check

its slope

∵ -3x + 2y ≥ 7

a = -3 and b = 2

∵ m =
(-a)/(b)

∴ m =
(-(-3))/(2) =
(3)/(2)

∴ The slope of the line is positive

The inequality -3x + 2y ≥ 7 matches the graph
