First thing to do is write the equations of the boundary lines.
Note that the solid boundary line goes right one and up one, so the slope is +1. And it intercepts the y-axis at (0,-3). That gives us an equation, in slope-intercept form, of:
I'll leave derivation of the other equation to you.
Next is to determine which of the four inequality symbols is appropriate. Since this is a solid line, the desired inequality is inclusive of equals, so you must use either  or  -- but which one?
Since the point (0,0) is located in the shaded half-plane with the equation we derived as a boundary, then substituting 0 for  and 0 for  should create a true statement if you have used the inequality symbol of the correct sense. So which is correct?
or
Find the correct symbol for the other inequality using the same process. Remember, a dashed line excludes equality, so you need to decide between < and >.
