Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Red line: $2y-x\ge1$ Blue line: $x+y\ge4$ Green line: $y\le2$ Since all three lines are either "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to", solid lines are used. Let's use the point $(0,0)$ to determine what sides of the lines to shade. Red line: $2y-x\ge1$ $2y-x\ge1$ $2*0-0\ge1$ $0-0 \ge 1$ $0 \ge 1$ This is false, so we shade the side of the line that doesn't have the point. Blue line: $x+y\ge4$ $x+y\ge4$ $0+0\ge4$ $0 \ge4$ This is false, so we shade the side of the line that doesn't have the point. Green line: $y\le2$ $y\le2$ $0\le2$ This is true, so we shade the side of the line that has the point. The solution of the set of equations is shaded by all three lines.
