### Linear Inequalities in Farm Planning

Seed costs for a farmer are $70 per acre for corn and $60 per acre for soybeans. How many acres of each crop should the farmer plant if she wants to spend no more than $4200 on seed? Express your answer as a linear inequality with appropriate nonnegative restrictions and draw its graph.

**Problem Statement**
Let \( x \) be the number of acres planted with corn and let \( y \) be the number of acres planted with soybeans.

Choose the correct inequality below:
- A. \( 70x + 60y > 4200, \, x \geq 0, \, y \geq 0 \)
- B. \( 70x + 60y \leq 4200, \, x \geq 0, \, y \geq 0 \) (Correct Answer)
- C. \( 70x + 60y \geq 4200, \, x \geq 0, \, y \geq 0 \)
- D. \( 70x + 60y < 4200, \, x \geq 0, \, y \geq 0 \)

Use the graphing tool to graph the inequality and the boundary lines representing the nonnegative constraints.

**Graph Details**
The graph provided shows two axes:
- The x-axis represents the number of acres planted with corn, ranging from 0 to 100.
- The y-axis represents the number of acres planted with soybeans, also ranging from 0 to 100.

Both axes include a grid to facilitate plotting points.

**Instructions for Graphing**
1. Identify the line \( 70x + 60y = 4200 \) by finding key points, such as the intercepts.
2. Plot the intercepts.
   - When \( x = 0 \), solve \( 60y = 4200 \) to get \( y = 70 \).
   - When \( y = 0 \), solve \( 70x = 4200 \) to get \( x = 60 \).
3. Draw the line through these points.
4. Shade the region below and including the line to represent the inequality \( 70x + 60y \leq 4200 \).
