Graph the straight line y = 6-xy=6−x. Shade the region above ( in the positive direction of y-axis ) this line and excluding the line, and enter therein -4y<4x-24−4y<4x−24.

Explanation:

Divide by the negative factor -4−4 of y and reverse the inequality sign, from < to >.
So, the inequality can be rearranged to the simple form y>6-xy>6−x

.For any (x, y) location above this line (in the positive y-direction ), y>6-xy>6−x and this is equivalent to -4y<4x-24−4y<4x−24. Mul
