The line that serves as the boundary passes through the points  and  and can easily be seen to be the line of the equation .

The graph of the inequality includes the line itself, as is demonstrated by the fact that it is solid, so the correct choice is either

or 

From the diagram, we see that, for example, the point  (and the rest of the positive -axis) is in the set. Since , this makes the statement  true, so that is the inequality to choose.

As indicated by the solid line, the graph of the inequality at right includes the line of the equation, so the inequality graphed is either  

or 

To determine which one, we can select a test point and substitute its coordinates in either inequality, testing whether it is true for those values. The easiest test point is ; it is not part of the solution region, so we want the inequality that it makes false. Let us select the first inequality:

 makes this inequality false, so the graph of the inequality  is the one that does not include the origin. This is the correct choice. (Note that if we had selected the other inequality, we would have seen that  makes it true; this would have allowed us to draw the same conclusion.)

The graph of a linear inequality that includes either the  or  symbol is the line of the corresponding equation along with all of the points on either side of the line. We are given both lines, so for each inequality, it remains to determine which side of each line is included. This can be done by choosing any test point on either side of the line, substituting its coordinates in the inequality, and determining whether the inequality is true or not. The easiest test point is .

This is true; select the side of this line that includes the origin.

This is false; select the side of this line that does not include the origin.

The solution sets of the individual inequalities are below:

The graph of the system is the intersection of the two sets, shown below:

The boundary line is a horizontal line which has  as its -intercept; the equation of this line is . 

The inequality is either  or , since the region right of the line is included. The dashed boundary indicates that equality is not allowed, so the correct inequality is .
