Given:

The inequalities are:


y>(2)/(3)x+3


y\leq -(1)/(3)x+2

To find:

The graph for the given system of inequities.

Solution:

We have,


y>(2)/(3)x+3


y\leq -(1)/(3)x+2

The related equations are:


y=(2)/(3)x+3


y=-(1)/(3)x+2

Table of values

x
y=(2)/(3)x+3
y=-(1)/(3)x+2

0 3 2

3 5 1

Plot the points (0,3) and (3,5) and connect them by a straight line to get the boundary line
y=(2)/(3)x+3.

Plot the points (0,2) and (3,1) and connect them by a straight line to get the boundary line
y=-(1)/(3)x+2.

In
y>(2)/(3)x+3, the sign of inequality is ">" it means the boundary line is a dashed line and shaded area lies above the boundary line.


y\leq -(1)/(3)x+2, the sign of inequality is "
\leq" it means the boundary line is a solid line and shaded area lies below the boundary line.

Therefore, the required graph is shown below.
