If it is a 'greater than' or a 'less than' then it's a dotted line. If 'less than or equal' or if it's a 'greater than or equal' then it's a solid line.
strict inequality
You go left three and make a dotted line straight up and down and shade to the left.
The graph of an inequality is a region, not a line.
Any compound inequality, in one variable, can be graphed on the number line.
Basically. If the inequality's sign is < or ≤, then you shade the part under the line. If the inequality's sign is > or ≥, then you shade the part over the line.
A dotted line in a graph of an inequality indicates that the boundary line is not included in the solution set. This typically occurs with inequalities using "<" or ">", meaning that points on the dotted line do not satisfy the inequality. In contrast, a solid line would indicate that points on the line are included in the solution set, as seen with "<=" or ">=".
The line is dotted when the inequality is a strict inequality, ie it is either "less than" (<) or "greater than" (>). If there is an equality in the inequality, ie "less than or equal to" (≤), "greater than or equal to" (≥) or "equal to" (=) then the line is drawn as a solid line.
strict inequality
If the points that are ON the line satisfy the inequality then the line should be solid. Otherwise it should be dotted. Another way of putting that is, if the inequality is given in terms of ≤ or ≥, then use a solid line. If they are < or > use a dotted line.
To determine whether to use a solid or dotted line for a given inequality, check if the inequality includes equal to (≥ or ≤) or not (>) or (<). If it includes equal to, use a solid line; if not, use a dotted line. For the solution area, if the inequality is greater than (>) or greater than or equal to (≥), the solution lies above the line; for less than (<) or less than or equal to (≤), it lies below the line.
The slope-intercept inequality is an equation of the form y < mx + c. The inequality can be reversed, and in both cases can be strict or not. In all cases the equality divides the Cartesian plane into two and the inequality determines which side of the straight line is the valid region, and whether or not the line itself should be included.
A dashed/dotted line if it is > or <. Otherwise use a regular line. Also shading is required.
The different type of line designs are zig zag, parallel, dotted, dashed, perpendicular, curved, straight and wavy. The most used line designs are zig zag, dotted and straight.
It is standard procedure to shade the area where the Inequality does NOT apply, leaving the unshaded area to show where the Inequality is valid. Choosing a simple illustration, the Inequality y > 6 would be graphically represented by a dotted line passing though y = 6 and parallel to the x-axis. The area below this line would be shaded as this represents the zone where y < 6. Note : A broken/dotted line is used to illustrate the boundary where a true Inequality applies (e.g. < or >). A solid line is used where the Inequality also includes an equals sign (e.g. ≤ less than or equal to, or ≥ greater than or equal to ).

There are different types of lines: curved lines, dotted lines, wavy lines and straight lines.
you use a solid line when the inequality is less than or equal to or greater that or equal to the dotted line is for less than or greater than
