"at least" becomes "≥".

"fewer than" means subtract, so "9 fewer than" becomes "- 9".

y represents the pages read on Saturday.

x represents the pages read on Friday.

y  ≥  4x - 9

Draw the line y = 4x -9 and shade the region above the line to show "at least".

Points that you can use:  x = 0 and y = -9                  x = 4 and y = 7.

Do you have to be more careful than this? Because, x can't be negative and y can't be negative (you can't read a negative number of pages); do you have to worry about this?
