Let the time Larry spend reading be x and the time he spend watching TV be y. Then
x + y ≤ 4 . . . (1)
x ≥ y . . . (2)

The graph represents two straight lines with one line passing through points (0, 4) and (4, 0) and the other one passing through points (0, 0) and (2, 2). The two lines intersects at point (2, 2) with the portion of the graph bounded by the x-axis shaded.
