Hello, Valerie --   First you need to find the x-intercept and
the y-intercept. Divide all the way through by 3 to reduce the
inequality to an equivalent form:         2x + y > 6  To find
the y-intercept, let x = 0, and change > to =:           2(0) +
y = 6               y-intercept is (0,6)  For the x-intercept,
let y = 0:            2x + (0) = 6               x-intercept is
(3,0)  Put those points on your graph and draw a dotted line
through them (dotted because of the > inequality).  To finish
the graph shade either above or below the dotted line. To
determine the shaded area, pick a "test point" -- say (0,0) --
and substitute those values into the original. See whethere the
result is true or false.             6(0) + 3(0) > 9  This is
false, because 0 < 9. You know now
