Answer:

Let x be the number of guest and y be the quantity of meat,

According to the question,


y\geq (x)/(3)-2

Since, the related equation of the above inequality,


y=(x)/(3)-2

Having x-intercept = (6,0),

y-intercept = (0,-2)

Also,'≥' shows the solid line,

Now, 0 ≥ 0/3 - 2 ( true )

Hence, the shaded region of above inequality will contain the origin,

Therefore, by the above information we can plot the graph of the inequality ( shown below ).
