Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Green line: $4x+3y\ge12$ Orange line: $x^2+y^2<16$ $4x+3y \ge 12$ We pick the point $(0,0)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $4x+3y \ge 12$ $4*0+3*0 \ge 12$ $0+0 \ge 12$ $0 \ge 12$ (false, so we don't shade the side of the line) $x^2+y^2 <16$ This is the formula for a circle with radius 4. If the point is in the circle, it is part of the solution (since we are working with a less than sign). The point $(3,2)$ is part of the solution, so it is in the circle. $x^2+y^2 <16$ $3^2+2^2 <16$ $9 +4 < 16$ $13 < 16$ The overlap of the two equations is the solution to the system.
