1. Problem Description

We need to solve the system of linear inequalities:
y2xy \ge -2x
y3x+4y \ge 3x + 4

2. Solution Steps

To solve the system of inequalities, we can look for the region where both inequalities are satisfied.
First, we can find the intersection point of the two lines y=2xy = -2x and y=3x+4y = 3x + 4.
Set 2x=3x+4-2x = 3x + 4.
Subtracting 3x3x from both sides gives 5x=4-5x = 4.
Dividing both sides by 5-5 gives x=45x = -\frac{4}{5}.
Now, substitute x=45x = -\frac{4}{5} into y=2xy = -2x to find the corresponding yy value:
y=2(45)=85y = -2(-\frac{4}{5}) = \frac{8}{5}.
The intersection point is (45,85)(-\frac{4}{5}, \frac{8}{5}).
To find the solution region, we can test a point to see which side of each line is the solution.
For the first inequality y2xy \ge -2x, let's test the point (0,1)(0, 1). Since 12(0)1 \ge -2(0) or 101 \ge 0 is true, the region above the line y=2xy = -2x is the solution.
For the second inequality y3x+4y \ge 3x + 4, let's test the point (0,5)(0, 5). Since 53(0)+45 \ge 3(0) + 4 or 545 \ge 4 is true, the region above the line y=3x+4y = 3x + 4 is the solution.
The solution to the system of inequalities is the region where both inequalities are satisfied, i.e., the region above both lines y=2xy = -2x and y=3x+4y = 3x + 4.

3. Final Answer

The solution to the system of inequalities is the region where y2xy \ge -2x and y3x+4y \ge 3x + 4 are both true. This is the region above both lines y=2xy = -2x and y=3x+4y = 3x + 4, which meet at the point (45,85)(-\frac{4}{5}, \frac{8}{5}).
