text: draw a dotted line through coordinates (0,3) and (1,3).  This represents the equation Y = 3. \n\nSince the inequality is strictly greater than, the line should be dashed (or dotted).  If it were >= then it would be a solid line.\n\nNow you test each half plane for a true value.  You need a point that is not contained on the line.  How about the origin (that is always the easiest point as long as it is not on the line itself).\n\nIf we plug the point (0,0) into the inequality you get the statement 0 > 3.  Is this a true statement?  No.  Therefore, you shade the half plane that does not contain the origin. If it were true, you would shade the half plane that contains the origin.\n\nHope this helps!
