Answer:

y ≥
(3)/(2)x + 6

Explanation:

12 ≥ 3x + 2y

Money available ≥ cost of green grapes + cost of red grapes

To turn this into slope-intercept form,

12 ≥ 3x + 2y

2y ≥ -3x + 12

y ≥
(3)/(2)x + 6

Graphed - see attached

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
