Graphing Warehouse Height Clearance Zones
You are working as a facility safety trainer at a regional distribution center. During onboarding, you need to explain to a new safety coordinator how to visually map height restrictions on a facility layout chart (coordinate grid). The current warehouse zone has an overhead conveyor clearance limit represented by the inequality , where represents the equipment height in meters.
To prepare your training explanation, write a short instructional guide outlining the standard three-step procedure to graph this height clearance zone on a coordinate plane. In your guide, you must cover the following from memory:
- Explain how to determine the boundary line equation, specify whether it is horizontal or vertical, and describe whether it should be drawn as a solid or dashed line, justifying your choice based on the inequality symbol.
- Identify a standard test point to use (such as the origin), show how to mathematically evaluate this test point in the inequality, and state whether the resulting statement is true or false.
- Describe which region of the coordinate plane (above or below the boundary line) should be shaded to complete the graph, and explain how the test point's result determines this shading decision.

Warehouse Height Restriction Graphing
A safety coordinator at a distribution center is mapping out a clearance zone under overhead utility pipes. The height clearance of any equipment, (in meters), must be strictly less than 5 meters, represented by the inequality . When graphing this safe operating region on a coordinate plane, the horizontal boundary line must be drawn as a/an ____ line to indicate that a height of exactly 5 meters is not included in the safe zone.
