I originally had the following inequality

$2x - 4y > -6 $

I now have:

$ 4y < 2x + 6 $

It's almost in $y$ intercept form, only problem I have now is getting that $y$ by itself.

I think I have to divide everything by $4$, but I'm not sure, and I don't have answer key for this problem.

My final result is:

$y < \frac{1}{2} x + 1.5 .$

Can someone confirm this please?

You are right!

But you could get there much easily,$4y \lt 2x + 6 $

Now we divide the both sides of the inequality by $4$,

$y \lt \frac x2 + \frac32$

which is consistent to your result $y \lt \frac 12x + 1.5$
