Find a linear inequality with the following solution set. Each grid line represents one unit.

Equation of line: x + y + 1 = 0

Inequality: x + y + 1 < 0 (check point (0,0))

Equation of the line is     y = x+1

 

the shaded area is everything GREATER than this line but NOT including the line (because it is dashed)

so

y > x+1
