Question

in this equation y>2x+8, would the part on top of the line be shaded or the bottom

Answer 1

For these type of questions, you can figure out the answer by testing the origin: (0,0)
0 > 2(0) + 8
0 > 0 + 8
0 > 8
^^that isn't a true statement, the origin has less value
So you would shade whichever side the origin is on, whether it be above or below, while looking at the line graphed

Answer 2

below the line

Answer 3

the values of y are all greater that the values on the line - so which part do you think will be shaded?

Answer 4

If you have y>mx+b then you shade above the line because it says y is greater.
If you have y<mx+b then you shade below the line because it says y is less than.
