Graphing a linear inequality with variable on both sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve linear inequalities by converting them into the Y=MX+B format. It covers the steps to isolate Y, graph the inequality using intercepts and slope, and determine whether to use a solid or dashed line. The tutorial also explains how to decide which side of the line to shade by testing a point.

How do you determine which side of the line to shade when graphing a linear inequality?

Why is the point (0,0) often chosen as a test point when graphing linear inequalities?
