Question

Which is the best description of the graph of the inequality y > 2x – 3

Answer 1

Since it's > , and not >=, you get a dashed line.
Then you need to shade one side of the line.

Answer 2

Right...a dashed line (as stated above) shaded on the side that contains the origin

Answer 3

so would it be shaded above or below the line?

Answer 4

hello? lol

Answer 5

First, you change the inequality into an equation and plot it. It'll be a line, but remember to plot it with a dashed line.
Once the line is plotted, the coordinate plane is divided into 2 regions. Each region is one side of the line.
To find which side is shaded, choose one point on one side, and test the point in the inequality. If the point makes the inequality true, then the entire region that contains the point is the solution and gets shaded.

@johnweldon1993 above mentioned the origin. You must test a point that is not on the line. If the origin is not on the line, use that point (0, 0) to test in the inequality because it's an easy point to test. Then if the origin makes the inequality true, shade the side that includesd th eorigin. If the origin does not make the inequality true, then shade the other side of the line.
