First graph
2x-y=-2
y=2x%2B2
.
.
.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%2B2%29
.
.
Then choose a point not on the line and test the inequality.
(0,0) is convenient.
2%280%29-0%3E-2
0%3E-2
True, shade the region containing (0,0).

graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x-y%3E-2%29
.
.
.
Now do the same for the other inequality,
x-y=-1
y=x%2B1
.
.
.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%2B1%29
.
.
Then choose a point not on the line and test the inequality.
(0,0) is convenient.
0-0%3E-1
0%3E-1
True, shade the region containing (0,0).
.
.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx-y%3E-1%29
.
.
.
So now putting it all together,
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C2x%2B2%2Cx%2B1%29
Find the point of intersection,
2x%2B2=x%2B1
x=-1
Then,
y=-1%2B1=0
.
.
.

The solution region would still be the region containing (0,0) but now its boundaries have been modified.
I can't show it here like the graphs above due to software limitations.
