How do you solve and graph       -    y    &amp;lt;    36   ?

Step 1First, make the y term positive:Either:       -    y    &amp;lt;    36                                →                               -    36    &amp;lt;    y                                   →                                y    &amp;gt;    -    36  Or, divide by -1, but change the inequality sign around.      -    y    &amp;lt;    36                                 →                                y    &amp;gt;    -    36  To draw the graph: treat it as       y    =    -    36  This will be a horizontal line through       -    36   on the y-axisHowever, because it is an inequality and y has to be MORE than -36, but not equal to -36, we use a broken or dashed line.Shading the area ABOVE the line shows all the other possible solutions for y.
