Question

Lester thinks that the solution of any inequality with a $>$sign is the region above the line and the solution of any inequality with a $<$sign is the region below the line. Is Lester correct? Explain why or why not.

Short answer

Yes, Lester thinks right.

Step-by-step solution

Explanation

Any inequality with $>$sign, always consider the larger values that lie above the boundary line, so that the solution of any inequality with a $>$sign is the region above the line.

Similarly, Any inequality with $<$sign, always consider the smaller values that lie below the boundary line, so that the solution of any inequality with a $<$sign is the region below the line.

Conclusion

Thus, Lester's thought is right.
