Question

Graph the first-degree inequality in two unknowns.

y > 4x -4

Thank you very much. I am not sure what a > is

Answer 1

As you know,

y = 4x-4

is just a line. All the points on the line satisfy the equation.

> means "greater than". So, if (2,4) is on the line, (2,5),(2,6),... are above the line, where y > 4x-4.

So, the solution to an inequality is a whole region of the plane, not just a line. See the graph at
