You can rewrite the inequality in slope-intercept form:

Explanation:

First work away the parentheses:
#y+2<=-2/3x-2/3(-6)->#
#y+2<=-2/3x+4->y<=-2/3x+2#

If you graph the line of #y=-2/3x+2#, the line itself and everything under it fits the inequality.

The #y#-intercept will be #x=0->(0,2)#,
the #x#-intercept will be #y=0->(3,0)#
graph{-2/3x+2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
