You can graph this by rearranging it into the y = mx + b format.

Adding 4x to both sides gives:

y ≥ 4x - 1

The boundary line of this region will be represented by the line:

y = 4x - 1

To plot this line, find the x and y intercepts.

Setting x = 0 gives y = -1, so the y-intercept is (0, -1)

Setting y = 0 gives x = 1/4, so the x-intercept is (1/4, 0)

Plot those two points.

Since the relation in the inequality includes equality (i.e. ≥ instead of just >), you want to connect the two intercept points with a solid line.

Finally, since the inequality relation includes the "greater than" condition, you need to shade the region that is above the line that you drew.
