First graph the line
(just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign) (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this
solver
)
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality
with the test point
Substitute (0,0) into the inequality
Plug in
and
Simplify
Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire region that contains (0,0)
Graph of
with the boundary (which is the line
in red) and the shaded region (in green)
