<PRE><B>Question 330999</B>
&lt;br&gt;When you graph an equation or function, you will end up with a line, whether it is curved or straight. &lt;br&gt;

When you graph an inequality, you will end up with a shaded region depicting an entire area of possible solutions.&lt;br&gt;

For example, it is easy to graph the equation y=x&lt;br&gt;

It is just a straight line crossing through the origin, where each y value on the line is the same as the x value.&lt;br&gt;

However, if you graph the inequality y&gt;x&lt;br&gt;

you will end up with an entire shaded region above the line y=x&lt;br&gt;

where every y value is greater than any x value.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
