Answer: The inequalities are y ≥ (2/3)x + 1 and y < (-1/4)x + 2 and (−6, −3) satisfied the inequality.

What exactly is inequality?

A variation between two values indicates whether one is smaller, larger, or otherwise unrelated to the other.

In other words, inequality is the inverse of equality. For example, if 2 = 2, it is equal; however, if I say 3 = 6, it is incorrect; the correct expression is 3 6.

Explanation:As per the given phrase,

y is greater than or equal to two-thirds times x plus 1 ⇒ y ≥ (2/3)x + 1

y is less than negative one-fourth times x plus 2 ⇒ y < (-1/4)x + 2

Substitute, point (−6, −3)

-3 ≥ (2/3)(-6) + 1

-3 ≥ -3

Substitute in second inequality,

-3 < (-1/4)(-6) + 2

-3 < 7/2
