I'll give you a hint: It's either choice B) 3y − 2x < 0 or choice D) 3y − 2x > 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the difference between the two is the inequality sign

Consider the boundary line of the solution. In this case, the line goes thru the origin, and has slope 2/3. That gives y=2x/3, or 3y=2x. Since the shaded area is above the line, this becomes 3y > 2x, which in turn means 3y - 2x > 0.
