Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

The red line is the graph $ 4x+3y\ge12$, and the blue line is the graph $ x^{2}+y^{2}<16$. $4x+3y\ge 12$ Since we have a greater than or equal to sign, we use a solid line. We also pick the point $(0,2)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $(0,2)$ $4x+3y\ge 12$ $4*0+3*2 \ge 12$ $0+6 \ge 12$ $ 6 \ge 12$ (false, so we shade the other side of the line) $x^2+y^2 < 16$ Since we have a less than sign, we use a dotted line. We also pick the point $(0,2)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $(0,2)$ $x^2+y^2 < 16$ $0^2+2^2 < 16$ $0+4 < 16$ $4 < 16$ (true, so we shade the side of the graph with the point) The overlap of the two graphs is the solution set.
