Is there a way to graph an inequality?

 

1)     Assume that the inequality is:  y  >  3x - 7

 

Graph the equality:  y  =  3x - 7  only use a dashed line instead of a solid line and then shade the area above the dashed line.

 

2)     Assume that the inequality is:  y  <  3x - 7

 

Graph the equality:  y  =  3x - 7  only use a dashed line instead of a solid line and then shade the area below the dashed line.

 

3)     Assume that the inequality is:  y  <=  3x - 7     

 

Graph the equality:  y  =  3x - 7  using a solid line and then shade the area below the solid line.

 

4)     Assume that the inequality is:  y  >=  3x - 7

 

Graph the equality:  y  =  3x - 7  using a solid line and then shade the area above the solid line.

 

This procedure also works if the inequality is a quadratic, cubic, ..., trig, ...
