For simplicity, we'll use $y \neq x$.
$x$: ($±∞$) ($\mathbb{R}$)
$y$: ($±∞$) ($\mathbb{R}$)
$z$: ($±∞$) ($\mathbb{C}$)
I've learned that $y > x$ would be graphed as:
$y > x$
and y < x:
$y < x$
but, I have yet to see $y \neq x$. I assume it would be graphed with a dotted line as it cannot actually be equal to $x$, and that it would be both at the same time.
Would this accurately show the inequal sign? "$\neq$" $y \neq x?$
Would give complex solutions too?

In your attached image, the graph of $y \neq x$ is all of $\mathbb R^2$ outside of the line where $y=x$.
The dark grey background color represents where $y\neq x$. It would extend to infinity in both the $x$ and $y$ directions. The dotted line represents where $y=x$ and is not part of the graph.
