Graphs of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Example 2

Graph the inequality y2.



Solution

The equation of the boundary line is y=2, whose graph is a horizontal line that is 2 units above the x-axis. Make this line solid since the inequality symbol is .

Using (0,0) as the test point, the resulting inequality is 02, which is false.

Thus, the graph of y2 is the region on and above the line y=2, as shown in the figure below.
