I need to graph this inequality on a plane
2x+3y<6
-------------
1st: graph the boundary line which is the EQUALITY 2x+3y=6
3y=-2x+6
y = (-2/3)x + 2
-----------------------
Graph this as a dashed line because it is not part of the solution.

--------------------------------------------------------
2nd: shade the half-plane BELOW the boundary because you want
y to be LESS THAN (-2/3)x+2
