\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1: Graph the line

but graph it with a dashed line instead of a solid line because the inequality is

instead of

.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: Select any point that is NOT on the line. Since the line you just graphed does NOT pass through the origin, (0, 0) is an outstanding choice.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3: Substitute the coordinates of the point you selected in Step 2 into the original inequality.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

If the result is a true statement, shade in the half-plane containing the point you selected, using the graphed line as a boundary.\r
\n" ); document.write( "

If the result is a false statement, shade in the half-plane that does NOT contain the point you selected.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The shaded area, NOT including the dashed boundary line, is your solution set.\r
