Find the reference line.





-
choose a point, picking (5,-3).



-


Use the point to be excluded from solution region.




-
You want the left side as an inequality so that the given point is NOT a solution. Here, left side is greater than right side. If say , this is true. We want the other direction.


The point (8,4) will not be among the solution for the equation.
