A little more on this strange graph.....

Apparently, if this can be factored into this form....(x + y) (x - y) = 0, we have a graph of intersecting lines...let's see...

2x^2 - 3y^2 = 5xy 

2x^2 - 5xy - 3y^2 = 0

(2x + y) (x - 3y)  = 0

Since this "reducible" to this form, this is a degenerate conic that will form two intersecting lines.

Here's the graph, again.....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hwmmfcew1u

Notice something......if we set the first term in the above factorization to 0, we have 2x + y = 0, or just y = -2x...and this is the line ine on the graph that "falls" from right to left!!!  Similarly, doing the same thing to the second factored term produces y = (1/3)x.....and this is the other line on the graph that "rises" from left to right....!!!

And notice one last thing......just like we might do in a quadratic by "factoring and setting to 0" to find the roots....we are doing something similar here....except that, instead of generating "roots," we're generating equations of lines....!!!!

Here's some more info about these odd graphs....http://www.digplanet.com/wiki/Degenerate_conic

y ≤ -2x^2

Let's just graph this....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/rsch2bn5pk

Note that, doing this manually,  we can pick a point "inside" the parbola and one "outside" the parabola...whichever point satisfies the original inequality is the "side" we would shade
