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 ).
The first is 2-dimensional, the second is 1-dimensional.
Whereas the procedure for a linear equality is the same, the inequality defines all of the plane on one side (or the other) of the corresponding line.
Choose any point and substitute its coordinate into the inequality. If the inequality remains TRUE then the region containing the inequality is the one that you want. If it is false, then you want the region on the other side of the line. You can choose any point in the plane and substitute its coordinates into the inequality. The origin is usually the simplest.

By graphing the lines on the coordinated plane they will intersect at (2, -4) which is the solution of the equations

when graphing a line you simply plot the points based on the ordered pairs and connect the dots; there you have a line. An inequality graph refers to the shaded region of the coordinate plane that does not coincide with the line, hence the term, inequality.
If the inequality has a > or ≥ sign, you shade above the line. If the inequality has a < or ≤ sign, you shade below it. Obviously, just an = is an equation, not an inequality.

If the graph is a two-dimensional plane and you are graphing an inequality, the "greater than or equal to" part will be shown by two things: (1) a solid, not a dotted, line--this part signifies the "or equal to" option--and (2) which region you shade. Shade the region that contains the points that make the inequality true. By shading that region, you are demonstrating the "greater than" part.
