2x-y>=42xy4

By adding yy and subtracting 44 from both sides we can convert this into a more standard form:
2x-4>=y2x4y
or
y<=2x-4y2x4

Consider the equality portion of this:
y = 2x-4y=2x4
which is the standard slope- y intercept form of a linear equation

From this we know that the y-intercept is at (0,-4)(0,4) and for every unit of increase in xx, yy increases by 22 (so we could generate points (1,-2), (2,0), (3,2)(1,2),(2,0),(3,2) etc.)

Our graph of y<=2x-4y2x4 includes this line plus all values of yy below this line for any given value of xx
