Graph #y=x+2#, then shade all of the area above it.

Explanation:

First, draw out an x-axis and y-axis on some graph paper.
Then, pretend you're graphing #y=x+2#.
After that line is drawn, you want to make sure it's clear you're including all #y# values greater than and equal to #x+2#. To do this, two things need to be in order:
1. The line you drew in the first place is solid. (a)
2. The entire area above said line is shaded.

(a) In contrast, were you to graph #y>x+2#, the graph should be drawn with a dotted/non-solid line.
