It depends on the variable.

If it's something like x < 2, your graph would be a vertical line at x = 2, and everything to left of that line shaded in (because of the less than).

Similarly for y, except it would be a horizontal line with either everything above or below shaded.

You can have other equations like 0<x<4 where everything between x = 0 and x = 4 would be shaded
