You can put this solution on YOUR website!
step 1) Draw the line x+y = -3. This line goes through the two points (0,-3) and (-3,0). Alternatively, you can solve for y to get y = -x-3 and you'll graph the same line.


step 2) Make this a dashed line (we don't have an underline under the > sign)


step 3) Shade above the dashed line (solving for y gives you y > -x-3, so that greater than symbol tells you to shade up)
