First graph the line y=-x

Now choose a point not on the line and test the inequality.
How about (0,5)?
If the inequality is true, shade the region containing (0,5).
If not, shade the other region.
Since their is not an equals sign in the inequality, the line is not part of the solution region.
y%3E-x
5%3E-0
True, so shade that region.
