Restriction on the variables

Question

How do I find the restriction on the variables when there are two in the equation?

x-2y>6

Answer 1

Your inequality  can be rewritten as 2y < x - 6 or y < ½x - 3.

Graph the line y = ½x - 3 as a dashed line (------) and shade all of the area below that line; this region represents the solution set.  Below because y < something. (When obtaining y< something, you would shade above the line.)

 

These solution sets are HALF PLANES (with or w/o the boundary line included; boundary would be included in the cases using ≤ or ≥).
