Standard Operating Procedure for Graphing Origin-Intersecting Inequalities

Imagine you are an operations manager training a new analyst on how to visualize production constraints. One of the constraints is represented by the inequality y≤−4xy \leq -4x. Write a brief explanation for the analyst describing whether the boundary line should be solid or dashed, and explain the specific technical reason why the origin (0, 0) cannot be used as a test point to determine the shaded region for this particular graph.
