See explanation

Given:# " "2x-y>=4#

Multiply by (-1) to make y positive. Note that this reverses the #>=# sign

#" "-2x+y<=-4#

Add 2x# to both sides

#" "y<=2x-4#

The slope (gradient) is the coefficient of #x# which is +2

#x_("intercept")-> y=0<=2x-4 -> x=2#

#y_("intercept")-> y<=2(0)-4-> y=-4#
