Start with the given system of inequalities

In order to graph this system of inequalities, we need to graph each inequality one at a time.

First lets graph the first inequality
In order to graph , we need to graph the equation (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver )

graph of
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0) (any point will work, but this point is the easiest to work with), and evaluate the inequality

Substitute (0,0) into the inequality
Plug in and
Simplify
Since this inequality is not true, we do not shade the entire region that contains (0,0). So this means we shade the region that is on the opposite side of the line
Graph of with the boundary (which is the line in red) and the shaded region (in green)(note: since the inequality has a greater-than sign, this means the boundary is excluded. This means the solid line is really a dashed line)

Now lets graph the second inequality
In order to graph , we need to graph the equation (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver )

graph of
Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0) (any point will work, but this point is the easiest to work with), and evaluate the inequality

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) (note: since the inequality has a less-than sign, this means the boundary is excluded. This means the solid line is really a dashed line)

---------------------------------------------------------------

So we essentially have these 2 regions:

Region #1
Graph of

Region #2
Graph of

When these inequalities are graphed on the same coordinate system, the regions overlap to produce this region. It's a little hard to see, but after evenly shading each region, the intersecting region will be the most shaded in.

Here is a cleaner look at the intersection of regions
