System of inequalities question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose the system of inequalities that matches the graph below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the options: x + y < 7 3x – y less than or equal to –11 x + y less than or equal to 7 3x – y < –11 x + y > 7 3x – y greater than or equal to –11 x + y greater than or equal to 7 3x – y > –11 I have trouble with the shading..:/ someone help?

The fourth option is correct. It's a bit tricky because when you get the second inequality from the graph, it is y<3x+11. By subtracting 3x from both sides and multiplying both sides by -1 (remember to flip the sign here!), you get 3x-y>11

^Correction, 3x-y>-11
