Well, you start by treating the inequality as an equation in order to graph the line. In this case, the graph is a vertical line with the x-intercept = -6. I can't graph this here for some reason.
The final step is, if the inequality is a%3C=b ora%3E=b, then the line must be a solid line. The solid line indicates that -6 is included in the inequality.
But if the inequality is a%3Cb ora%3Eb then the line must be a dashed-line.
Now you need to shade the area on that side of the where the inequality is true. This will be the area on the left side of the line.
