You graph y = x+3 and then you shade in the area above the line of the equation.

The graph looks like this:

graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%2B3%29

Since the equation is y > x+3, any value of y above that line will be valid.

For example:

When x = 0, y = 3 in the equation y = x + 3.

When x = 0, y > 3 in the equation y > x + 3.

Any value above y = 3 when x = 0 is valid.

If you look at y > x + 3 for all values of x, then y = x + 3 is the line and y > x + 3 is any value above the line.

If you had several equations, like y < 5, x > 0 and y > x + 3, then you would graph all 3 equations of:

y = 5
x = 0
y = x + 3

and you would shade in the area on the graph that is above the line y = x + 3, to the right of x = 0, and below y = 5.

The graph of those equations would look like this:

graph%28400%2C400%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%2B3%2Cy+=+5%29
