We can tell this for two reasons. Firstly, you would need a dotted line. Since the equation includes a greater than sign, and not a greater than or equal to sign, it must be dotted.
Then we need to figure out whether to shade above or below the line. The best way to find this is by checking whether the point (0,0) should be shaded.
y + 2 > -3x - 3 0 + 2 > -3(0) - 3 2 > -3 (TRUE)
Since this is a true statement, the side with (0,0) needs to be shaded. Graph D is the only one that has a dotted line and (0,0) shaded.
