help please
Without having to know anything about inequalities, you should just examine where the lines are plotted. Both equations have -2 as their y intercept. Only one line in the first image hits -2 on the y line so it must be the second one.
Oh nevermind, you put more options. In that case, you can rule out number 1.
Same thing applies for the last image since the lines don't all hit -2.
Now the only difference, from the second and third image is where it is shaded in. In this case, you want to plug in 0,0 for x and y and see what equation works.
Are you getting this so far?
yes
alternate approach (usually faster) given the graph match the inequality for each and see the overlap
Lets take the first equation y < -3x - 2. If you plug in 0 for both x and y, that would make the equation 0<-2 which is not correct. Therefore, the shaded region should be away from 0,0 making it the second graph on the first screenshot.
