Transcript text: Graph the inequality in the coordinate plane.
\[
x>6
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Draw the boundary line
The inequality is _x_ > 6. The boundary line is _x_ = 6, which is a vertical line passing through _x_ = 6. Since the inequality is strictly greater than, the line should be dashed to indicate that points on the line are not included in the solution.
Step 2: Determine which side to shade
Choose a test point not on the line, such as (0, 0). Substitute the coordinates into the inequality: 0 > 6. This is false. Therefore, shade the side of the line that does not contain the point (0, 0). This is the region to the right of the line _x_ = 6.
Final Answer
The graph of the inequality _x_ > 6 is the region to the right of the dashed vertical line _x_ = 6.
