Question 696454: Graphing Inequalities in two variables:

-x>y

is the same as

y < -x

To graph this, you graph the line y = -x (graph the two points (0,0) and (1,-1) and draw a straight line through them)

Make this line a dashed line.

Then shade below this dashed line because the inequality sign is a less than sign.
