Graph the line using a dashed line.

Select a point that is NOT on the line you just graphed. Substitute the -coordinate of the point you just chose and substitute that value for in the original inequality.

If you have created a true statement, then shade in the side of the line that contains the point you chose. Otherwise, shade in the other side of the line.
