Inequalities with < or <= are shaded above or below the line?

Depends on where the variables are. Consider x+y<2. Notice that the origin, x=0 and y=0, satisfies this inequality. So, the side that contains the origin, (0,0), is the shaded side. And, the boundary is the dashed line x+y=2.

On the other hand, y<x+2 also has the origin on its side and the boundary is dashed line y=x+2.

So, you can often just test one value, like the origin, (0,0), to see which side is shaded or not.

Absolutely, as variable vary the value will also vary.
