First thing you should do is draw a graph, you can do so similarly as you would when you graph out an equation of a line using y = mx+b, you should get something as such |dw:1432283752175:dw| can you figure out where to shade?

Also notice it's a solid line since it's $$\ge $$

As for which region would be shaded: Pick any test point that's not on the line. The origin $(0,0)$ works nicely. Plug in $x=0$ and $y=0$ into the given inequality. Is it true? If yes, the region containing the origin will be shaded. Otherwise, shade the other region.
