Any line divides the Cartesian plane into two parts. When deciding whether the line should be solid or dashed, think of the points on the line. If these points are not in the permitted region then it will be a dashed line, otherwise it will be a solid line. Usually this will mean that a strict inequality is dashed.
to graph in equaltities in two variables, you graph the two numbers and/or variables. then you look at the sign to see if its greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to and you graph the line as dashed or a solid
