Inequality
Symbol
> or <

Type of Line

> or <

Solid Line

Dotted Line

If the
inequality is:
y > mx + b

Shade

or

Above the
line

y > mx + b
y < mx + b
or
y < mx + b

Below the line

Choose the type of line

for the inequality given.
1. y > 3x - 2
a. Solid

b. Dotted

2. y > x - 5
a. Solid

b. Dotted

Graph y > x - 2.
1. Graph
the line
y = x - 2.

x
2. Since y >, shade
above the line.

Graph y > -x + 3
Type of
line:
Solid
Dotted

Graph y > -2x + 3

Type of
line:
Solid
Dotted

If the
inequality is:
x>#
or
x>#
x<#
or
x<#

Shade
To the
Right of the
line
Left of the line

Graph x > -2
1. Draw
a dotted
vertical
line at x
= -2.

x
2. Shade to
the right of
the line.

Graph y > x

Graph x > y
