Step 1. Line 1: y=2xy=2x (through the origin). Line 2: −2x+3y=6-2x+3y=6, i.e. y=2x+63y=\dfrac{2x+6}3, with intercepts (0,2)(0,2) and (−3,0)(-3,0).

Step 2. Test the origin in −2x+3y≤6-2x+3y\le6: 0≤60\le6 true, so the region for this inequality is the side containing the origin.

Step 3. Test (0,1)(0,1) in both: y≥2x⇒1≥0y\ge2x\Rightarrow1\ge0 true; −2x+3y≤6⇒3≤6-2x+3y\le6\Rightarrow3\le6 true -- so (0,1)(0,1) is in the feasible region.

Step 4. The two lines meet where 2x=2x+63⇒6x=2x+6⇒x=32, y=32x=\dfrac{2x+6}3\Rightarrow6x=2x+6\Rightarrow x=\dfrac32,\ y=3. The feasible region is the unbounded wedge with vertex (32,3)\left(\dfrac32,3\right), bounded below by y=2xy=2x and above by y=2x+63y=\dfrac{2x+6}3, opening toward negative xx.

✓Final answer

The unbounded wedge with vertex (32,3)\left(\dfrac32,3\right) between y=2xy=2x (below) and −2x+3y=6-2x+3y=6 (above), opening toward negative xx.
