To draw boundary of the inequality  follow the simple steps.
 follow the simple steps.
1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2.  Since inequality  symbol is <, the boundary is not included in the solution set. Graph the boundary of the inequality
 symbol is <, the boundary is not included in the solution set. Graph the boundary of the inequality  with dashed line.
 with dashed line.
3.  To determine which half-plane to be shaded use a test point in either half-plane. A simple choice is (0, 0). Substitute and x = 0 and y = 0 in original inequality  .
