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". Let's assume strict inequality for "above".
3. Result: $y > 2x - 1$

?�� 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.
