Fill in the Blank

An inventory manager is analyzing a supply chart where the allowed stock levels are represented by a shaded region below a solid boundary line, y=12x4y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4. To verify the correct inequality, the manager tests the coordinate (0,0)(0, 0), which is located in the unshaded region. Substituting x=0x = 0 and y=0y = 0 into the intended inequality y12x4y \leq \frac{1}{2}x - 4 results in the statement 04{}0 \leq -4. Because this statement is ____, it confirms that the region containing the origin should not be shaded.
