Given system of inequalities: y > 2/5(x) - 2 and y < -3x + 1.

We are given greater than (>) inequality symbol in first inequality.

For "only greater than inequality symbol" we would draw only a "dotted line".

Also in second inequality we have less than (<) inequality symbol.

For "only greater than inequality symbol" we would draw only a "dotted line".

In the shared graph, both the lines plotted are solid lines.

Therefore, correct option is B) The lines graphed should be dashed.
