Graphing Rules

  • Solid vs. Dashed Line: Because the sign is strictly Greater Than (>), the line is dashed. The points perfectly on the line are NOT included in the solution.
  • Where to Shade: Because it says "y is GREATER THAN", we shade the entire region above the line. Every (x, y) point in that shaded area makes the statement true!
