Let's graph -10y<60.

1) Solve for y. Doing this requires a little trick: you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign:

Divide both sides of the equation by -10, and at the same time

substitutte > for <:

-10y < 60

------ ------ => y > 60 / (-10), or y > - 6 (answer)

-10 -10

To graph this, use a dashed (not a solid) line. Locate y = -6 on the y-axis and draw a dashed, horizontal line through it. Done!
