When graphing y<-6 should the region below the line y=-6 be shaded or should the region above the line y=-6 be shaded?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Since you're dealing with a "<" sign, and y is isolated, this means that you shade below the line. Another way to see is to plug in y = 0. Since 0 < -6 is NOT true, this means that you shade the region that does NOT include the origin.
