hint: to add inequalities (<, >, ≤, ≥), type \less\ or \greater\

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate y

Add 4 to both sides of the inequality $y - 4 < - 4$.
$y-4 + 4< - 4+4$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$y<0$

Answer:

The solution in inequality notation is $y < 0$. On the number - line, we have an open circle at 0 (since the inequality is strict, $y$ cannot equal 0) and the line extends to the left of 0.
