Start with the given inequality:

y%3E=2

Set up a number line:
number_line%28500%2C-8%2C12%29 note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with


Now plot the point y=2 on the number line


number_line%28500%2C-8%2C12%2C+2%29


Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose y=0, and test the inequality y%3E=2


0%3E=2 Plug in y=0


Since this inequality is not true, we simply shade the entire portion that does not contain the point y=0 using the point y=2 as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the right of the point y=2 like this:
Graph of y%3E=2 with the shaded region in blue
note: at the point y=2, there is an closed circle. This means the point y=2 is included from the solution set.
