graph{y>x+1 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

Graph the line #y=x+1# as a dotted line, and shade the area above it.

Explanation:

If the equation being graphed was #y>=x+1# we would use a solid line, because the line #y=x+1# is included. Since it is #y>x+1#, that line is not included, but all the areas of the plane with #y# values greater than #x+1# are included.
