On the contrary, I think the easiest way for most students to do these kinds of questions is to plug in different x's. It's much easier not to make a mistake that way. If you've found x's that work for all of the inequalities except one, you know you're right. Knowing the general shapes of curves is a good idea, but it's easy to forget special cases like negative fractions, positive fractions, and 0.
