See explanation

Explanation:

Plot the line y=2x+y but use a dotted line signifying that y may not actually tale on the value of 2x+7
Colour (English spelling) or shade the area above the graph. This is standard practice indicating that it represents all the possible value of y for any one given value of x that are greater than 2x+7 for that x value.

Put a title on the graph and label your axis. color(red)(larr" Important")

To determine the x-intercept set y as 0 using y=2x+7

0=2x+7

Subtract 7 from both sides

2x=-7

Divide both sides by 2

x=-7/2" at "y=0 ->(x,y)=(-7/2,0)

To determine the y-intercept set x as 0 using y=2x+7

y=+7" at "x=0->(x,y)=(0,7)
