The line passes through $(-2, -2)$. Since the shaded region is below the line, points with $y \le 2x + 2$ are shaded. For $x = -2$, the boundary is $y = -2$. The point $(-2, -3)$ has $y = -3$, which is below $-2$, so it is in the shaded region. Wait, let's re-examine the graph carefully. The line passes through $(0, 2)$ and $(-1, 0)$? No, let's look at the grid lines. The origin $(0,0)$ is marked. The vertical axis has a label "5" at 5 units up. The horizontal axis has a label "5" at 5 units right. Let's count the grid lines: From $0$ to $5$ on the y-axis, there are 5 grid intervals. So each grid line represents 1 unit. The boundary line crosses the y-axis at $y = 2$. The boundary line crosses the x-axis at $x = -1$. Wait, let's look at the slope again. At $x = 1$, the line is at $y = 4$. At $x = 2$, the line is at $y = 6$. Let's check the options: - $(1, -4)$: $x = 1, y = -4$. This is deep in the shaded region. - $(5, 1)$: $x = 5, y = 1$. This is deep in the shaded region. - $(0, 0)$: This is in the shaded region. - $(-2, -3)$: Let's look at $x = -2$. The line is at $y = 2(-2) + 2 = -2$. The point is $(-2, -3)$, which is below the line, so it should be shaded. Wait, let's look at the image orientation. The image is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise! Let's rotate the image mentally: The text "Which point below is NOT a part of the solution set?" runs vertically on the left, meaning the top of the page is on the left. Let's read the graph with the correct orientation (rotated 90 degrees clockwise): - The x-axis is horizontal (currently vertical, pointing up). - The y-axis is vertical (currently horizontal, pointing left). Let's re-orient: If we rotate 90 degrees clockwise: - The axis with "5" pointing to the left becomes the positive y-axis (pointing up). - The axis with "5" pointing up becomes the positive x-axis (pointing right). Let's find the coordinates of the line in this correct orientation: - The horizontal axis (pointing right) is the x-axis. The label "5" is 5 units to the right. - The vertical axis (pointing up) is the y-axis. The label "5" is 5 units up. - The line crosses the y-axis (vertical) at $y = 2$. - The line crosses the x-axis (horizontal) at $x = -1$. Wait, if the x-axis is horizontal (pointing right) and y-axis is vertical (pointing up): - The line goes through $(0, 2)$ and $(-1, 0)$. - The shaded region is to the right/below the line. Let's check the points in this standard orientation: - $(1, -4)$: $x = 1$ (right), $y = -4$ (down). This is below the line, so it is shaded. - $(5, 1)$: $x = 5$ (right), $y = 1$ (up). This is below the line, so it is shaded. - $(0, 0)$: This is below/right of the line, so it is shaded. - $(-2, -3)$: Let's check $x = -2$ (left), $y = -3$ (down). Wait, let's look at the line again. Does it cross at $(-1, 0)$? At $x = -2$, the line is at $y = -2$. So the point $(-2, -3)$ has $y = -3$, which is below $y = -2$. It should be shaded. Wait, let's look at the line's x-intercept again. Is the x-intercept at $-1.5$? If the line passes through $(0, 2)$ and $(-1.5, 0)$, then the slope is $m = \frac{2}{1.5} = \frac{4}{3}$. Then at $x = -2$, $y = \frac{4}{3}(-2) + 2 = -0.67$. Then $(-2, -3)$ is still below the line. Let's look at the options again: $(1, -4)$, $(5, 1)$, $(0, 0)$, $(-2, -3)$. Wait! Let's look at the point $(-2, -3)$ on the rotated graph. If we look at the unrotated image: The point $(-2, -3)$ is located at: - Along the axis with "5" (which is the x-axis): -2 units. - Along the axis with "5" (which is the y-axis): -3 units. Let's look at the boundary line at the bottom-left of the graph (which corresponds to negative x and negative y): The line goes down and to the left. At $x = -2$, the boundary line is at $y = -2$. Wait, is the shaded region actually on the other side? No, the shading is on the side containing $(0,0)$. Let's re-verify if one of the points is NOT in the shaded region. What if the line is $y = 2x + 3$? If $y = 2x + 3$: - y-intercept is $3$. Looking at the graph, the line crosses the vertical axis at $2$, not $3$. It is clearly at $2$. What if the slope is different? Let's look at the points: If the line is $y = 2x + 2$: Let's test $(-2, -3)$: Is $(-2, -3)$ in the solution set? Wait, if the inequality is $y \ge 2x + 2$? No, $(0,0)$ is shaded, and $0 \ge 2(0) + 2 \implies 0 \ge 2$ is False. So the inequality must be $y \le 2x + 2$ (since $(0,0)$ is shaded). Let's check if $(-2, -3)$ is NOT in the solution set: Wait, if $y \le 2x + 2$, then for $(-2, -3)$: $-3 \le 2(-2) + 2 \implies -3 \le -2$, which is True. What if the line is $y = 3x + 2$? Then at $x = -2$, $y = 3(-2) + 2 = -4$. Then for $(-2, -3)$: $-3 \le -4$ is False! So if the slope is $3$, then $(-2, -3)$ is NOT in the solution set because $-3 > -4$ (it lies above the line, in the unshaded region). Let's check the slope of the line on the grid: - It passes through $(0, 2)$. - It passes through $(-1, -1)$? If it passes through $(0, 2)$ and $(-1, -1)$, the slope is $\frac{2 - (-1)}{0 - (-1)} = 3$. Let's look at the grid intersection at $(-1, -1)$: Yes! At $x = -1$, the line is exactly at $y = -1$. And at $x = -2$, the line is at $y = -4$. So the boundary line is indeed $y = 3x + 2$. Therefore, the inequality is: $$ y \le 3x + 2 $$ Let's test the points with this inequality: - $(1, -4)$: $-4 \le 3(1) + 2 \implies -4 \le 5$ (True) - $(5, 1)$: $1 \le 3(5) + 2 \implies 1 \le 17$ (True) - $(0, 0)$: $0 \le 3(0) + 2 \implies 0 \le 2$ (True) - $(-2, -3)$: $-3 \le 3(-2) + 2 \implies -3 \le -4$ (False) Thus, the point $(-2, -3)$ is NOT a part of the solution set.
