Work Step by Step

Consider the provided inequalities $\begin{align} & x-2y\le 4 \\ & x\ge 2 \end{align}$ Consider each inequality once and choose some values for $ x $ and compute the value for $ y $, in order to form the ordered pairs which are used to plot the graph. Consider, $ x-2y\le 4$ Choose some values of x and y satisfying $ x-2y=4$ So, put $ x=-1$ in the provided expression, $\begin{align} & -1-2y=4 \\ & -1-4=2y \\ & y=-\frac{5}{2} \\ & =-2.5 \end{align}$ Now, put $ x=0$, $\begin{align} & 0-2y=4 \\ & 2y=-4 \\ & y=-\frac{4}{2} \\ & =-2 \end{align}$ Now, put $ x=4$, $\begin{align} & 4-2y=4 \\ & 2y=0 \\ & y=0 \end{align}$ To check the region covered by $ x-2y\le 4$, substitute $\left( 0,0 \right)$ in the given equation. If $\left( 0,0 \right)$ satisfies the equation, then shade the region towards the origin. Therefore substitute $\left( 0,0 \right)$ in $ x-2y\le 4$ $\begin{align} & 0-2\left( 0 \right)\le 4 \\ & 0\le 4 \\ \end{align}$
