- 2). Push the "Y=" button.
- 3). Enter the first inequality into "Y1=." Navigate to the symbol in front of "Y1."
- 4). Press "Enter" to adjust the shading of the equation. For an inequality with a "greater than" sign, such as "y > x - 3," press "Enter" twice. For an inequality with a "less than" sign, such as "y < x + 4," press "Enter" three times.
- 5). Press the down arrow button to navigate to "Y2." Repeat steps 3 and 4 for "Y2=" using a second inequality.
- 6). Press "Graph." The overlapping shaded area is the answer.
