Which is the graph of the linear inequality 2x – 3y < 12?

On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the right of the line is shaded.

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 4) and (3, negative 2). Everything to the right of the line is shaded.

2x − 3y < 12
=> −3y < 12 − 2x
=> y > (2/3)x − 4.

So the boundary is y = (2/3)x − 4 (passes through (0, −4) and (3, −2)), dashed because the inequality is strict, and the solution is the half-plane above that line. Testing (0,0): 2·0 − 3·0 = 0 < 12 is true, so the side containing (0,0) is shaded.

Thus the correct graph is: a dashed line through (0, −4) and (3, −2) with everything to the left of the line shaded.
