Changing the inequality sign from > to ≥ includes all the points on the boundary line to the solution set of the inequality.

Take for an example:

• The solution set of y>2 is the set of all values of y greater than 2.

,

• If the sign is changed to y≥2, the line y=2 becomes part of the solution set.
