Step 1: Graph the line  . Since the original inequality was "strictly less than", use a dashed line to make this graph indicating that point on the line are NOT included in the solution set of the inequality.
Step 2: Select any point on the coordinate plane that is NOT on the line you just graphed. Generally, (0,0) is a good choice for this step, except when, as in this case, the line passes through the origin. I would choose something like (1,1) in this situation. But any point you would like to use will work so long as it is not on the line.
Step 3: Substitute the coordinates of the point you selected in step 2 for  and  in the original inequality. If you create a true statement, then shade the half-plane on the side of the line that includes the point selected. Otherwise, shade the other side of the line.
