To plot this equation on the x-y plane, we first need to solve for y. We have 2x+3y?6, and we subtract 2x on both sides. We get 3y?6-2x. We then divide both sides by 3, to get y ? 2-(2x/3). Now, we can treat the ? as an = sign, and graph the equation y = 2 - (2x/3). We know that y has to be smaller (or equal to) 2-(2x/3), so y can be any point that's underneath the line.
