Answer:

The graph below shows the answer to

2x - 3y < 12

Also shown as

-3y < -2x + 12

Explanation:

You can rearrange the inequality by subtracting 2x from both sides to isolate the y.

You now have -3y < 12 -2x

which can be put into the standard linear equation form of

-3y < -2x + 12

Then you divide both sides by -3 to get singular value of y, which is something like

-3/-3y < -2/-3x + 12/-3

which is

y > 2/3x -4

Note: I switched direction of the inequality because you are dividing both sides by a negative value.
