A warehouse supervisor is using a coordinate graph to monitor floor space allocation. The boundary for a specific storage zone is a solid line represented by the equation $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4$. The permitted storage area is shown as a shaded region below this line. Based on the standard conventions for linear inequalities, which inequality correctly represents the permitted storage region?

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

A facilities manager is using a load-limit chart to manage warehouse storage. On the chart, the boundary for safe weight distribution is a solid line represented by the equation $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4$, and the region below the line is shaded to show the permitted zones. According to standard mathematical conventions, this graph represents the inequality $y \leq \frac{1}{2}x - 4$.

A logistics analyst uses a coordinate graph to define an 'operational safety zone.' The boundary is a solid line represented by the equation $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4$, and the safe zone is shaded in the lower-right region. Match each graphical feature or test outcome with its mathematical significance in deriving the inequality $y \leq \frac{1}{2}x - 4$.

A logistics coordinator is documenting the standard procedure for verifying 'Operating Zone' charts. Arrange the steps used to confirm that a graph with a solid boundary line $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 4$ and a shaded region below it correctly represents the linear inequality $y \leq \frac{1}{2}x - 4$.
