Question 204128: When graphing a linear inequality, how do you know if the inequality represents the area above the line? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You test by picking a sample point above the line. If the point you pick satisfies the inequality, then the inequality represents the area above the line. If it doesn't, then it doesn't.
