First graph x-2y=8
When x=0,
-2y=8
y=-4
(0,-4)

When y=0,
x=8
(8,0)

Choose a point not on the line and test the inequality.
(0,0) is convenient.
If the inequality is true, shade the region containing the point.
Else, shade the other region.
x-2y%3E0
0-2%280%29%3E0
0%3E0
False, so shade the other region.

Since the inequality does not contain an equal sign, the line is not part of the solution region so indicate it as a dashed line.
