Question
solve the system of two linear inequalities graphically.\
\
step 1 of 3: graph the solution set of the first linear inequality.
Step1: Rewrite inequality to slope-intercept
Rearrange $2x + 6y < -12$ to solve for $y$:
$6y < -2x -12$
$y < -\frac{1}{3}x - 2$
Step2: Graph the boundary line
Plot the line $y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 2$ as a dashed line (since the inequality is $<$, not $\leq$). The y-intercept is $(0, -2)$, and using the slope $-\frac{1}{3}$, another point is $(3, -3)$.
Step3: Shade the solution region
Since $y < -\frac{1}{3}x - 2$, shade the area below the dashed boundary line.
