Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

$x^2/4 + y^2/9 \geq 1$ This is the equation of an ellipse, and we pick the point $(0,0)$ to determine whether to shade inside or outside the ellipse. Since we have a greater than or equal sign, we use a solid line. $x^2/4 + y^2/9 \geq 1$ $0^2/4 + 0^2/9 \geq 1$ $0/4 + 0/9 \geq 1$ $0 + 0 \geq 1$ $0 \geq 1$ (false, so we shade outside the ellipse)
