Question
solve the system of two linear inequalities graphically.\
$$\begin{cases}4x + 6y < -36\\\\x \\geq -4\\end{cases}$$
\
step 3 of 3: graph the solution set for the system.\
answer
Step1: Rewrite first inequality to slope-intercept form
Isolate $y$ in $4x + 6y < -36$:
$$\begin{align*}
6y &< -4x - 36\\
y &< -\frac{2}{3}x - 6
\end{align*}$$
Step2: Identify boundary lines
- For $y < -\frac{2}{3}x - 6$: Boundary is dashed line $y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 6$ (since inequality is strict). Shade below this line.
- For $x \geq -4$: Boundary is solid vertical line $x = -4$. Shade to the right of this line.
Step3: Find overlapping shaded region
The solution set is the area that is shaded both below $y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 6$ and to the right of $x = -4$.

The graph consists of:
- A dashed line $y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 6$, with shading below the line.
- A solid vertical line $x = -4$, with shading to the right of the line.
- The overlapping shaded region (below the dashed line and right of the solid line) is the solution set for the system.
