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)#
