The given inequality is equivalent to


y > x    (after multiplying both sides by (-1) and changing the inequality sign to the opposite one)


To graph the last inequality (to present its solutions graphically), draw the line y = x.


Then the solution set to the last inequality is the set of all points in  the coordinate plane that are ABOVE the line y = x.


It is, in the same time, the set of all solutions to the given inequality.
