Where do i shade on the graph?

Question

if my linear inequality is y ≥ 3x – 1, where at on my graph do i shade? on or above, on or below, below, above

Answer 1

Check the inequality symbol:

Because y ≥ 3x – 1 , we want to shade y-values bigger than those on the line. So shade above the line.

Because the inequality symbol is not strict (it is greater than or equal to), graph the line as a solid line (not dashed) to represent the fact that the points lying on the line are included in the solution set.
