How do you graph #y<0.75# on the coordinate plane?

Draw a dotted line along #y=0.75#, then shade the region below that line.

Explanation:

We want to indicate on the coordinate plane all points #(x,y)# where #y<0.75#. Since the given inequality does not depend on #x#, the #x#-coordinate can be anything—as long as #y# is less than #0.75#, we're good. So the line we'll draw is dotted horizontal at #0.75# (since #y# must be strictly less than, not equal to, #0.75#), and then we shade the region where the #y#-coordinates are less than that—below the line:

graph{y<0.75 [-3.077, 3.082, -1.54, 1.54]}
