Answer:

See the attached graph

Explanation:

The comparison operator includes "or equal to" in each case, so the graph of the boundary line is solid. Each bounary line can be graphed in the usual way. Considering the y-intercept and slope is often easiest when the equations are presented in this form:

  • y = -x -1
  • y = 2x +4

Since the solution space includes y-values less than those in the first line, the graph is shaded below that line.

Since the solution space includes y-values greater than those in the second line, the graph is shaded above that line.

Where the graph is doubly-shaded is the solution space for the system of equations.
