y<-1/2x-3

y<-1/2x-3
:
the boundry line is y=(-1/2)x-3. this is a dotted line since it is excluded. To determine which side of the line is shade( in other words values which make the inequality true)we simply need to test with points on both sides
:
so lets try (0,0)--->0<(-1/2)0-3--->0<-3----> is not a true statement
:
so lets try (-6,-6)-->-6=(-1/2)(-6)-3--->-6<0---> this is a true statement so everything on that side of the line satisfies the inequality. so shade everything below the boundry line
