Answer:

I'm not sure if I'm right but I believe its right...

Explanation:

Graph the inequality as you would a linear equation. Think of: y = 2x + 2 when you create the graph.

Determine which side of the line contains the solutions. Since y is less than the expression, you will shade below the line.

Substitute (0,0) into the inequality y < 2x + 2 0 < 2 (0) + 2 0 < 2 This is a TRUE statement.

Answer:

1. Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.

2. Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)

3. Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).

Hope this helps UwU
