Two-variable linear inequality or equation application
x, lawns weeded
y, lawns mowed

20x%2B30y%3E=150

Simplify.
2x%2B3y%3E=15
highlight%28y%3E=-2x%2F3%2B5%29

graph%28300%2C300%2C-2%2C8%2C-2%2C8%2C-2x%2F3%2B5%29

graph%28300%2C300%2C-2%2C8%2C-2%2C8%2C2x%2B3y%3E=15%29

A point ON the line would be x=6 and y=1.
An example of a point ABOVE the line could be x=6 and y=3.
