$2 x - 6 \leq y$

Step 1

Rewrite so $y$ is on the left side of the inequality.

$y \geq 2 x - 6$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Step 2.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2.2

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = 2$

$b = - 6$

Step 2.3

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 6)$

Slope: $2$

y-intercept: $(0, - 6)$

Step 3

Graph a solid line, then shade the area above the boundary line since $y$ is greater than $2 x - 6$ .

$y \geq 2 x - 6$
