Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $x-2y\lt0$ Graph $x-2y=0$. Use a dashed line because the inequality symbol is $ \lt$. Test $(1,-1)$. $\Rightarrow x-2y\lt 0$ $\Rightarrow 1-2(-1)\lt0$ $\Rightarrow 1+2\lt0$ $\Rightarrow 3\lt0$ Hence, $(1,-1)$ is not a solution, shade the half-plane that does not contain $(1,-1)$.
