Pick a test point, (the origin is the most convenient unless the line of the inequality falls on it), and plug it into the same linear inequality. If the test point makes the inequality true, then shade that side of the line. If the test point makes the inequality false, then shade the opposite side of the line.

Graph the following Inequalities: x > 3
Shade upward if the inequality involves a "greater than" comparison. Shade downward if the inequality involves a "less than" comparison.
3
If it is 'less than' or 'greater than' or 'not equal' then use an open circle.If it is 'less than or equal to' or 'greater than or equal' then use the shaded circle.
The solution to a system of inequalities is where the solutions to each of the individual inequalities intersect. When given a set of graphs look for the one which most closely represents the intersection, this one will contain the most of the solution to the the system but the least extra.
