The boundary line is shown as a dashed line meaning it is not included in the solution, thus the symbol in . The boundary lines and are shown as solid meaning they are included in the solution, thus the and symbol in those inequalities. Test a point inside the region to see if it makes these inequalities true. For example, the point is inside the region. Substituting in the first inequality gives you , which is true. Substituting in the second inequality gives you , or , which is true.
