When graphing a linear inequality in two variables, explain how to determine which side of the boundary line to shade. Please help me I am so confused.

\ \textgreater \ means you shade the part above the line, and
\ \textless \ means you shade the part under the line.

If it has an equal bar under it, like this:
\leq or \geq, then you also shade the line, by making it solid instead of dotting it.
