graph{2x+y<=6 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

First, you should graph #y=-2x+6#

Since the inequality sign includes the equality, the graph should be a solid line, not a dashed line. If it was #<# or #># then the line should have been dashed.

Then, select a random point on the coordinate plane which is not the line #y=-2x+6#.

If that point satisfies the inequality #2x+y<=6# then that part of the coordinate plane should be shaded. Else, the other part should be dashed.
