y<1
\n" ); document.write( "First, establish a boundary line by using an equal sign:
\n" ); document.write( "y=1 (see the graph:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+1%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, the boundary line will be a dashed line because the inequality is \"less than\" \"1\". If the inequality had been just \"less than or equal to\", the boundary line would have been a solid line instead.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, shade every thing below or less than the line (which is everything < 1) since \"y\" is every point less than the line (see the graph below):
\n" ); document.write( "
