Step 1 — Boundary line. The related equation is 2x+3y=62x+3y=6. Its intercepts: put y=0⇒2x=6⇒x=3y=0\Rightarrow 2x=6\Rightarrow x=3, giving (3,0)(3,0); put x=0⇒3y=6⇒y=2x=0\Rightarrow 3y=6\Rightarrow y=2, giving (0,2)(0,2). Join these two points.

Step 2 — Solid or dashed. The sign is ≤\le (weak), so the boundary line is solid and is part of the solution.

Step 3 — Test point. The line does not pass through the origin (c=6≠0c=6\ne0), so test (0,0)(0,0):

2(0)+3(0)=0≤6— true.2(0)+3(0)=0\le 6\quad\text{— true.}

Step 4 — Shade. Since the origin satisfies the inequation, shade the half-plane containing the origin (the region below-left of the line). Together with the solid line, this shaded region is the graphical solution. …
