Question

How do you graph the inequality `-y<2`?

Answer 1

Draw the horizontal line for `-y =2` (that is `y=-2`) on a graph.

It might be useful to note `-y<2` is equivalent to `y>-2`

Shade the area above this line as the collection of points represented by `-y<2`

(I've used a different color than that used for the `y=-2` to shade the area as a way of indicating that the points on the line are not part of the solution. Different teachers/institutions have different standards for this (some use dashed lines; some put small hollow circles on the line; find out what your local standard is).
