You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you need to first convert it to inequality where on the left side there is only y.
2x-3y<6
move x to the right:
-3y<6-2x
divide by -3 and do not forget to CHANGE SIGN of the inequality (you are dividing by negative number)
y>(2/3)*x-2
plot line y=(2/3)*x-2: graph%28+200%2C+300%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+%282%2F3%29%2Ax-2%29
Since the inequality says y > (greater), the result is the aree ABOVE (greater) the straight line you just drew.
