Which inequality represents the region ON or ABOVE the line y=x+2y = x + 2?

A

yx+2y \geq x + 2

B

y>x+2y > x + 2

C

yx+2y \leq x + 2

D

y<x+2y < x + 2

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Match the keywords.

  1. "On": Inclusive (\leq or \geq).
  2. "Above": Greater than (>> or \geq).
  3. Combine: \geq

?�� Strategic Tip: "On" means the line is solid and included in the solution.

Choice B is incorrect because it excludes the line (strict inequality). Choice C is incorrect because it shades below. Choice D is incorrect because it shades below and excludes the line.
