Graph the inequality y < 2x + 3 on a coordinate plane. Identify the boundary line, explain whether it is solid or dotted, and describe the region you would shade. Include a coordinate point you tested to confirm your shading. Graph the inequality y ≥ -x + 4 on a coordinate plane. Identify the boundary line, explain whether it is solid or dotted, and describe the region you would shade. Include a coordinate point you tested to confirm your shading.
