You can put this solution on YOUR website!
technically your not graphing the inequality by rather the equality which in this case is y=2x+2.
:
BTW this will be a dotted line because it is y less than 2x+2 so its excluded if it had a less than or equal to then you would have a solid line because it would then be included.
:
so below is the graph of y=2x+2. You now have to decide which side of the line is the solution to y=2x+2. Just try a few points on either side of it.
:
try point (0,0) which is below the line ....0<2(0)+2--->0<2..hey that works zero is less than 2. To be sure that is the side that needs to be marked in. Try one point above the line say(-4,2)....2<2(-4)+2--->2<-6...this is not a true statement therefore we color in beneath the line as all points which are solutions to y<2x+2
