Set 5: Linear Inequalities

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. Interpret the shading and line type. 1. "Above": Shading above the line corresponds to $>$ or $\geq$. 2. "Strictly above": Usually implies a dashed line (though not specified, "above" usually means $>$). If the line were included, it would say "on or above". 3. Result: $y > 2 x - 1$ Strategic Tip: $y > ...$ shades up/above. $y < ...$ shades down/below. Choice B is incorrect because it shades below. Choice C is incorrect because it includes the line ($\geq$), which is "at or above". Without "dashed/solid" info, A is the safest bet for "above". Choice D is incorrect because it shades below.
