The inequality is .
Subtract 4 from each side.
\Divide each side by negative 2 and flip the symbol.
\Consider the graph of .
First determine the boundary by graphing x = 3, the equation you obtain by replacing inequality sign with an equals sign.
\Since the inequality involves x-values less than or equal to 3, the line should be dashed.
The boundary divides the coordinate plane in to two half planes.
\
Note: a dashed line on a coordinate plane indicates that the boundary is not part of the solution set.
\To determine which half plane contains the solution, choose a point from each half plane and test it in the inequality.
\Try . So, substitute x = 1, y = 2 in
.
Since the statement is false.
\Try . So, substitute x = 5, y = 2 in
.
Since the statement is true.
The half plane that contains contains the solution. Shade that half plane.
