On (1) and (3), how did you decide which side to shade?
What method did you use?

Apply the same method to (2) . . .

. . I don't understand this.

#1 has: . $y \:>\:2x+1$

First, graph the line: . $y \:=\:2x+1$

Since the inequality has " $\,y$ is greater than",
. . shade the region above the line.

#2 has: . $y \:<\:x$

Graph the line: . $y \:=\:x$

Since the inequality has " $\,y$ is less than",
. . shade the region below the line.
