The simplest way is probably to plot the corresponding equality in the coordinate plane. One side of this graph will be part of the feasible region and the other will not. Points on the line itself will not be in the feasible region if the inequality is strict (< or >) and they will be if the inequality is not strict (≤ or ≥). You may be able to rewrite the inequality to express one of the variables in terms of the other. This may be far from simple if the inequality is non-linear.
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.
The conditions define a region in the plane.
A solution to a linear inequality in two variables is an ordered pair (x, y) that makes the inequality a true statement. The solution set is the set of all solutions to the inequality. The solution set to an inequality in two variables is typically a region in the xy-plane, which means that there are infinitely many solutions. Sometimes a solution set must satisfy two inequalities in a system of linear inequalities in two variables. If it does not satisfy both inequalities then it is not a solution.
shaded
The shaded region above or below the line in the graph of a linear inequality is called the solution region. This region represents all the possible values that satisfy the inequality. Points within the shaded region are solutions to the inequality, while points outside the shaded region are not solutions.

Linear programming is just graphing a bunch of linear inequalities. Remember that when you graph inequalities, you need to shade the "good" region - pick a point that is not on the line, put it in the inequality, and the it the point makes the inequality true (like 0

Each linear equation is a line that divides the coordinate plane into three regions: one "above" the line, one "below" and the line itself. For a linear inequality, the corresponding equality divides the plane into two, with the line itself belonging to one or the other region depending on the nature of the inequality. A system of linear inequalities may define a polygonal region (a simplex) that satisfies ALL the inequalities. This area, if it exists, is called the feasible region and comprises all possible solutions of the linear inequalities. In linear programming, there will be an objective function which will restrict the feasible region to a vertex or an edge of simplex. There may also be a further constraint - integer programming - where the solution must comprise integers. In this case, the feasible region will comprise all the integer grid-ponits with the simplex.
A linear equation corresponds to a line, and a linear inequality corresponds to a region bounded by a line. Consider the equation y = x-5. This could be graphed as a line going through (0,-5), (1,-4), (2,-3), and so on. The inequality y > x-5 would be the region above that line.
it is called a half plane :)

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.

Actually, a linear inequality, such as y > 2x - 1, -3x + 2y < 9, or y > 2 is shaded, not a linear equation.The shaded region on the graph implies that any number in the shaded region is a solution to the inequality. For example when graphing y > 2, all values greater than 2 are solutions to the inequality; therefore, the area above the broken line at y>2 is shaded. Note that when graphing ">" or "=" or "
