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.
