Answer: 2x + y < 7

Explanation:

In the graph we can see that:

The line is a dashed line, and the shaded area is below the dashed line, then we will have something like:

y < a*x + b

We also can see that the slope of the line is negative, and that the y-intercept is +7

Then the inequality will be something like:

y < a*x + 7

Now we can see that the line passes through the points (0, 7) and (3, 1)

Then the slope will be:

a = (1 - 7)/(3 - 0) = -6/3 = -2

that is negative, as we already said.

Then we have:

y < -2*x + 7

we can rewrite this as:

2x + y < 7

This is the first solution shown.
