Step-by-step explanation:
Any coordinates in the shaded area are solutions. Any coordinates on the line are not a solution due to it being dashed. Anything in the non-shaded area is also not a solution. You can always check if you are right by plugging in the numbers.
Example: (1, -2)
-2 < 0.5(1) + 2
-2 < 0.5 + 2
-2 < 2.5
True, -2 is less than 2.5.
Another Example: (-2, 1)
1 < 0.5(-2) + 2
1 < -1 + 2
1 < 1
False, 1 is not less than itself.
