Step 1) Graph the line x+2y = 6. This line has the x and y intercepts of (6, 0) and (0, 3)

Step 2) Make this line a dashed line (since there isn't a line under the < symbol)

Step 3) Shade below the dashed line (because we have a less than sign and the y term isn't negative)

To sum up: graph the boundary line, make it a dashed line, then shade below the dashed line
