The equation is .

The all points on the coordinate plane  to the left of the graph of represent the shaded region and the boundary line does not include in the shaded region, so here we can use inequality symbol to write the inequality is .

The graph of the inequality is the shaded region, so every point in the shaded region satisfies the inequality.

The graph of the equation is the boundary of the region. Since the inequality , the boundary is drawn as a dashed line to show that points on the line does not satisfy the inequality.

For every value of y, the value of x is 2. The graph of the equation is a vertical line 2 units to the left of the y - axis.

To draw inequality follow the steps.

1.  Draw a coordinate plane.

2.  Plot the points and draw a line through these points.

3.  To determine which half-plane to be shaded use a test point in either half-plane. A simple choice is .

Substitute the value of in the original inequality.

.

4.  Since the above statement is false, shade the region that does not contain point .

The inequality graph is
