    Usually you have to change the = to a \< sign, sub in (0,0) for x and y and if it is true, the arrow points towards the origin (0,0)
    Eg:
    write out an inequalitiy that satisfies the equation 2x+3y=14
    Sub (0,0): 2(0)+3(0)=14 => 0+0=14. zero IS less than 14 so the arrows point towards the origin, therefore you know to use \< rather than >/. Whereas if it was 0+0= -14(which it almost never is), you'd know -14 isn't more than zero, so you'd use the other sign.
    Too confusing?
