how do you graph y &amp;gt; -2

Margot Mill · Accepted Answer

A linear inequality&#039;s boundary line must be located before it can be graphed. By substituting an equals sign for the inequality sign, the border may be identified.Replacing the inequality symbol in&amp;nbsp;y&amp;gt;−2&amp;nbsp;with an equals gives y=−2. The boundary line is then a horizontal line passing through −2 on the y-axis.The boundary line must be graphed as a solid line if the inequality symbol is&amp;nbsp;≤&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;≥&amp;nbsp;and graphed as a dashed line is the inequality symbol is &amp;gt; or &amp;lt;.Since&amp;nbsp;y&amp;gt;−2&amp;nbsp;has &amp;gt; as the inequality symbol, you must then graph y=−2 as a dashed line.You must then determine where to shade. Since&amp;nbsp;y&amp;gt;−2&amp;nbsp;is stating that y must be BIGGER than −2, you must then shade above the boundary line. This is because all the points above the boundary line have yy-coordinates that are bigger than −2.The graph is then:
