Question 114734


Think about how you've done {{{inequalities}}} on the number line. 
For instance, they'd ask you to graph something like {{{x > 2}}} or {{{y<2 }}} 
Recall that: 
greater than" meant "{{{everything_ off _to_ the_ right}}}" on the number line

less than" meant "{{{everything _off_ to_ the _left}}}" the number line 

now do your inequality: 
{{{y>=1}}}

the first step is to find the " {{{equals}}} " part, or{{{y=1}}}  
then graph it:


*[invoke Plot_a_graph_of_functions 1, -10, 10, -6, 5]


	You have already graphed the " {{{or_equal_to}}}  " part (it is just the horizontal line);

now you are ready to do the " {{{y_greater_than}}}" part; it means, this is where you need to {{{shade_one_side}}}  of the line {{{or_the_other}}}   . 

All you need to be sure is: do you need  {{{LESS _THAN}}} the line, do you need {{{ABOVE}}} the line, or {{{BELOW}}} the line? 

Since you have {{{y>=1}}}, you want {{{ABOWE}}} the line. So shade it in: {{{the _LINE _and _ABOWE_ the_ line}}}. 

the side you shaded is the "{{{solution_ region}}}"
