Start with the given inequality:

Set up a number line:
note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with

Now plot the point on the number line

Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose y=0, and test the inequality

Plug in

Since this inequality is not true, we simply shade the entire portion that does not contain the point y=0 using the point as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the right of the point like this:
Graph of with the shaded region in blue
note: at the point , there is an closed circle. This means the point is included from the solution set.
