Solve the following problem y > 2x + 1 and describe how to determine which side of the line to shade.
\n" ); document.write( "How do I know which side of the line to shade?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Simple Rule::
\n" ); document.write( "If the line is y = 2x+1,
\n" ); document.write( "then y greater than 2x + 1 must be above the line.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment::
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x+1 is boundary. y > 2x+1 is the half-plane ABOVE the boundary.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y < 2x+1 is the half-plane BELOW the boundary.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps.
