Answer:

y > 1/2x - 1

First, draw the dashed line y = 1/2x - 1 (slope intercept ; y = mx + b).

Start at -1 on the y-axis, and continue going 2 units to the right, and 1 unit up for the right side of the graph.

Then starting at -1 on the y-axis, continue going 2 units to the left, and 1 unit down for the left side of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form (Ax + By = C) by isolating y from the rest of the equation.

Ax + By = C → y = -Ax/B + C/B → y = mx + b.

Given a standard form equation in inequality form,

x - 2y < 2.

Set it to slope-intercept as an inequality to find the slope and y-intercept.

When negating (making opposite) a variable, you flip the inequality.

x - 2y < 2 → x - 2y - x < 2 - x → -2y < -x + 2 → 2y > x - 2 → y > 1/2x - 1.
