Which inequality describes the region below the dashed line y=3x+4y = -3x + 4?

A

y<3x+4y < -3x + 4

B

y3x+4y \leq -3x + 4

C

y>3x+4y > -3x + 4

D

y3x+4y \geq -3x + 4

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Match the line type and shading direction.

  1. Dashed line: Indicates strict inequality (<< or >>), not inclusive.
  2. Below: Indicates "less than" (y<...y < ...).
  3. Combine: y<3x+4y < -3x + 4

?�� Strategic Tip: Dashed = Strict (<,><, >). Solid = Inclusive (,\leq, \geq). Below = Less. Above = Greater.

Choice B is incorrect because\leq requires a solid line. Choice C is incorrect because>> shades above. Choice D is incorrect because\geq shades above and requires a solid line.
