Graph the inequality.
2x + 3y > 6
---------------------
You may be having trouble if you are trying to
graph the INequality. What you need to do
is graph the EQUALity and then decide where
the INequality would lie.
--------
So, graph 2x+3y=6 as a dashed or dotted line.
You need two points:
If x=0, y=2, giving you point (0,2)
If y=0, x=3, giving you point (3,0)
--------
Plot those two points and draw a dashed or dotted line through them.
That is the "boundary" of the INequality.

-----------
Now you have to figure out on which side of the boundary your INequality
lies.
So pick a test point: for example (0,0)
Test it in your INequality statement:
2x + 3y > 6
2(0) + 3(0) >6
0>6
This is not true; so the side of the dashed line that
contains (0,0) is not the side you want.
Shade the other side of the dashed line.
THAT IS THE GRAPH OF THE INEQUALITY.
