2x+%2By+%3E=2
No, first plot the line 2x%2By=2
y=-2x%2B2
graph%28300%2C300%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C-2x%2B2%29
Now choose a point not on the line, (0,0) is convenient.
Test the inequality.
If it's true, shade the region containing (0,0).
If it's false, shade the region that doesn't contain (0,0).
2x%2By%3E=2
2%280%29%2B0%3E=2
0%3E=2
False.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2Cy%3E=-2x%2B2%29
