i have to graph an inequality which is y>1
---------
You NEVER graph an inequality directly;
you graph its boundary, which is ALWAYS
an equality.
----
1st. Graph y = 1 as a dashed line.
That is the boundary.
---
2nd. Shade the half-plane ABOVE the boundary
because you want y to be GREATER than 1.
---------
You get:
graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-5%2C10%2Cy+%3E+1%29
