For a science experiment Corrine is adding hydrochloric acid to distilled water. The relationship between the amount of hydrochloric acid, x, and the amount of distilled water, y, is graphed below.

A first-quadrant grid with 'Amount of Distilled Water (in millimeters)' as the y-axis label and 'Amount of Hydrochloric Acid (in millimeters)' as the x-axis label. Both the axes range from 0 to 26 with an interval of 2 units. A dashed line is drawn connecting the points (0, 0) (8, 2) (12, 3) (16, 4) and the portion below the line is shaded.

Which inequality best represents this graph?
