Which is the graph of the linear inequality 2x – 3y < 12? On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the right of the line is shaded. On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the right of the line is shaded. On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

  (c)  On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient is positive, so we can determine the shading from ...

  2x ... < ... (pay attention to the x-term and the inequality symbol)

That is, the solution region will have x values that are less than those on the (dashed) boundary line. Lower x-values are to the left, hence shading is on the left side of the boundary. (That's all you need to know here to make the correct choice.)

Additional comment

If the choices are "above" or "below", then you will want to look at the y-term and the inequality symbol. If the coefficient of the variable of interest is negated (as it is for y here), then you need to consider the inequality symbol reversed: -y < ...   ⇔   y > .... Here, that means the shading is above the line. Since the slope of the line is positive, "left" and "above" are the same thing.
