Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Draw the region . Find the intercepts of its boundary line. Test the origin to decide which side to shade, and say whether the line is solid or dashed. Then find the value of at the point and decide whether this point is in the region.
For , draw the boundary line from its intercepts. Test a point that is not on the line, such as the origin. Shade the side of the test point if the test is true, and the other side if it is false. Use a solid line for and , and a dashed line for and .

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The intercepts. Put : , so . Put : , so . The line joins and .
Step 2. The test. At the origin , and is false. So shade the side that does not hold the origin.
Step 3. The line. The sign is , which includes equality, so the line is solid.
Step 4. The point. , and is true. So is in the region, on the shaded side.
Answer: intercept , intercept , and the value at is .
