Select a point in any region (not on the line) to know whether it satisfies the inequality. Let us take (4, –4) in the region I
Put x = 4 and y = –4 in y > x – 5
–4>4–5
–4>–1 or 4 < 1
Region I does not satisfy the given inequality, which means that the answer lies in region II. All the values in region II except for the value on the line y = x – 5 will satisfy the equation. The shaded area is the answer to inequality.
