How do you graph #x+y>2# on the coordinate plane?

graph{y > -x + 2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Explanation:

#x + y > 2#
#y > -x + 2#

let #x=0# for #y#-intercept.

#y = -(0) + 2#
#y = 2#

let #y=0# for #x#-intercept.

#0 = -x + 2#
#x = 2#

Plot these points on the Cartesian plane and connect the two dots with straight line. Since the y value is greater than #-x + 2# in the form #y = mx + b#, the line should be dotted and you should shade the region above the line.
