First, find the eqaution of the dashed line,,,,

   find 2 convenient points     :     -1  -1     and   1  0

    find slope     (-1-0)/(-1-1) = 1/2

       y = 1/2 x  + b    sustituting in one of the points will llow yo to calculate 'b'.... or you can take the value of y where x = 0

             b = -1/2              LIne equation   y = 1/2x - 1/2 

                   the yellow shaded area is everything ABOVE this line but NOT including the line (because it is dashed)

                               y > 1/2x - 1/2
