Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Red line: $3x-4y\le12$ Blue line: $x^{2}+y^{2}<16$ $3x-4y\le12$ We pick a point to determine which side of the line to shade. We pick $(0,0)$. $(0,0)$ $3x-4y\le12$ $3*0-4*0\le12$ $0 - 0 \le 12$ $0 \le 12$ (true, so we shade the side of the line with this point) $x^{2}+y^{2}<16$ The related equation $x^{2}+y^{2}=16$ is the equation of a circle with radius 4. If the point is inside the circle, then it is part of the solution set. The solution set of the two equations is the overlapping area. $(0,0)$ is a part of the solution set.
