Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Orange line: $2y-x\ge1$ Blue line: $x+y\ge-4$ Red line: $y\le2$ To determine what side of the lines to shade, we use a point not on any of the lines (such as the origin, (0,0)). Orange line: $2y-x\ge1$ $2*0-0\ge1$ $0-0\ge1$ $0\ge1$ (false, so we shade the left side of the line) Blue line: $x+y\ge-4$ $0+0\ge-4$ $0\ge-4$ (true, so we shade the right side of the line) Red line: $y\le2$ $0\le2$ (true, so we shade below the line) The solution area is the overlap of all three shaded areas. The solution area is the triangle formed by the points $(-6,2)$, $(-3, -1)$, and $(3,2)$.
