Question 842437: how do I graph the inequality for 3x < y

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you graph the equation of y > 3x
since y >, the line should be dashed because y cannot be equal to 3x.
you shade the area of the graph above the line y = 3x.
this is because all values of y = 3x are on the line, so all values of y > 3x have to be above the line.
