Please help me! How do I graph the system:
y >= 2x+4
y <= -x+8
--------------------
1st: Graph the boundary lines.

----
2nd:
1st inequality:
Since y "is greater than the boundary" shade the half-plane above it.
2nd inequality:
Since y "is less than the boundary" shade the half-plane below it.
---------
3rd: The solution is the intersection of the two shaded area and
includes the boundary of that intersection.
