The graph of the inequality
.
Solve for
in terms of
:
(Original equation)
(Subtract
from each side)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Divide each side by
)
(Cancel common terms)
The inequality is
.
Draw the boundary of the inequality
and
Since inequality
symbol is
, the boundary is included in the solution set.
Graph the boundary of the inequality
with dashed line.
Determine which half-plane to be shaded use a test point in either half-plane.
A simple choice is
.
(Substitute and
and
)

The statement is false.
Therefore, the half–plane which does not contain the origin is the solution.
Shade this half–plane.
