y < 2 .

Question

graph each linear inequality

Answer 1

What's the issue here?

y = 2 is a horizontal line crossing the y-axis at 2. Because we just have an inequality without "or equal to" the line is dashed.

Now, you tell me where to shade.

To check your answer, pick a point in and out of your shaded area and make sure it does and doesn't fit your function.
