Question 91290
In order to graph {{{y>=1}}}, we need to graph the <b>equation</b> {{{y=1}}} (just replace the inequality sign with an equal sign).
So lets graph the line {{{y=1}}} (simply draw a horizontal line through {{{y=1}}})

{{{ graph( 500, 500, -20, 20, -20, 20, 1) }}} graph of {{{y=1}}} 

Now lets pick a test point, say (0,0). Any point will work, (just make sure the point doesn't lie on the line) but this point is the easiest to work with. Now evaluate the inequality {{{y>=1}}} with the test point


Substitute (0,0) into the inequality

{{{(0)>=1}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}} and {{{y=0}}}

{{{0>=1}}} Simplify



Since this inequality is <font size=4><b>not</b></font> true, we do <font size=4><b>not</b></font> shade the entire region that contains (0,0). So this means we shade the region that is on the opposite side of the line
