Question 855365: When graphing inequality equations on a graph, how do I know which side to shade? I know it must have something to do with the way the inequality symbol is facing. But is it the side that is greater than/ less than depending on which side the inequality faces?
For example,
If the inequality symbol is facing towards y, and opening towards the equation; do you shade the side of the line that is greater than the points on the line?

Solving the equations for y, shade the parts of the graph which represent y for each equation. Remember, this is a question about INEQUALITIES. y is one set of points, and the expressions with x are a different set of points. SHADE FOR y. Include a solid curve or graph if the inequality is "... or equal to..." type; but use a dotted curve or line if a strict inequality.
