[High School Math] Graphing Inequalities

RESOLVED

Hi. I've been having some trouble with a problem relating to graphing inequalities. The problem is this: x - 6y ≥ 12.

When I graph using the slope-intercept method, I am met with points (0, -2); (6, -1). This is after I set the inequality to the form of y = mx + b; (y = 1/6x - 2)

However, when I set each variable to zero, I am met with the points (0, -2); (12,0). The textbook prefers this graph.

I am sorry for my lack of skills in desciprtive writing. I hope I can learn something from my first post in this thread. Thanks so much!
