Answer

$y \geq -2x+4$ .

Work Step by Step

"The product of $-2$ and x":$\quad -2x$ "$y$ is at least 4 more than (...) " means $y \geq 4+($...$)$ $y \geq 4+(-2x),$ or $y \geq -2x+4$ Graph the border line $\geq$ inequality sign $\Rightarrow$ solid line border line:$\quad y=f(x)=-2x+4,$ y-intercept = 4, (0,4) is on the line, for x=2, y=0, so (2,0) is on the line. Two points: draw the line. Shading the solution set: (0,0) is not on the line and we use it as a test point: $0 \geq -2(0)+4\quad?$ No. Shade the region that does not contain (0,0)
