Question

When graphing a linear inequality in two variables, explain how to determine which side of the boundary line to shade. Please help me I am so confused.

Answer 1

$\ \textgreater$ means you shade the part above the line, and $\ \textless$ means you shade the part under the line.

If it has an equal bar under it, like this: $\leq or \geq$, then you also shade the line, by making it solid instead of dotting it.
