Hope this picture helps! ;) Ignore the stuff around it ($12 or the triangle)
Take a look at the function 
. You can simplify it to 
. If x=0, then y=2 and when y=0, x=3. You obtain two points (0,2) and (3,0) that lie on the line .
Since
, the line should belong to the shaded area.
Now take point (0,0). Since
, you can conclude that point (0,0) belongs to the shaded area.Using all these thoughts, you can make a conclusion that the correct choice is B.
Since
Now take point (0,0). Since
