How to do these
Graph
- Draw y = 2x - 3, dashed because it is a strict inequality.
- Test the origin: 0 > -3 is true.
- So shade the side containing the origin.
The answer is dashed line, shade above.
Where students go wrong
Shading the wrong side by guessing. Test a point, and the origin is the easiest one unless the line passes through it. Greater-than does not always mean above once the line is rearranged.
Also called shading inequalities, half planes or graphing inequalities on a grid.
