Question 64661: Can you show me how to graph this problem: -x-2y<2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-x-2y<2 [re-write in the slope-intercept format by solving for y]
-2y y>-1/2x-1 [switch the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number]
.
Graph using a dashed line since you need all of the points greater than, but NOT EQUAL to y.
.
I cannot type a dashed line, but your graph should show a dashed line with shading above the line.
