Describe on which side of the line, the graph would be shaded for each question. Check some points to be sure you have shaded correctly.
3x - 2y <= 12

a) above the line
b) below the line
c) to the left of the vertical line
d) to the right of the vertical line
------------------------------------------
Add 2y to both sides to get the proper perpective:
3x <= 2y + 12
Then:
2y >= 3x - 12
y >= (3/2)x - 6
----------------------
Since y is GREATER the shading is ABOVE the boundary.
