2x-7y>14
Determine if the graph is solid or dotted, and shaded above or below.

First off, the graph is dotted. You can tell this because the inequality sign is greater/less than. If the sign was greater/less than or equal to, then the graph would be a solid.

To determine whether the graph is shaded above or below, you must first solve for y, and graph it.

So the equation is
To graph this, look at it with an equal sign instead.
This has a y-intercept of -2, and a slope of 2/7.

Now to determine what part is shaded, look at the equation that is solved for y, and pay attention to the inequality sign. If it is y>... then it is shaded above. If it is y<... then it is shaded below. In this case, it is shaded below.
