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

Apply the same method to (2) . . .

on 1 y is more than 2x+1 so i want that so i shade where less is. same for number 3. would i shade to the right hand side of the line?

would it look like this??

Hello, andyboy179!

on 1, y is more than 2x+1 so i want that so i shade where less is.

. . I don't understand this.

#1 has: .

First, graph the line: .

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


#2 has: .

Graph the line: .

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

so it would look like this???
