You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%2By%3E-8
y%3E-x-8
First, plot the line,
y=-x-8
.
.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-x-8%29
.
.
Now choose a point not on the line.
(0,0) is convenient.
Test the inequality.
If true, (0,0) is in the solution region.
If not, shade the region not containing (0,0).
0%2B0%3E-8
0%3E-8
True.
