x + 2y < = 4
2y < = -x + 4
y < = -1/2x + 2

u will have a solid line (because there is an = sign in the problem)....the slope will be -1/2...so ur line is going down....u have a y int (where ur line crosses the y axis at (0,2).....u have an x int (where ur line crosses the x axis at (0,4)..ur line will be shaded below the line.

Step-by-step explanation:


x + 2y \leq 4

To graph this inequality we replace <= symbol with = sign


x + 2y =4

subtract x on both sides


2y =-x+4

divide both sides by 2


y= (-1)/(2) x +2

Graph the equation using a table

LEts assume some number for x and find out y

x
y= (-1)/(2) x +2

-2 3

0 2

2 1

Now graph the equation using points (-2,3) (0,2)(2,1)

use solid line for graphing

Now use test point (0,0) for shading


x + 2y \leq 4


0 + 2(0) \leq 4


0 \leq 4 true

So we shade the region that contains (0,0)

the graph is attached below
