Question

graph the inequality in the coordinate plane.
y < -6

Explanation:

Step1: Identify boundary line

The boundary is $y=-6$, a horizontal line. Use a dashed line since the inequality is $<$ (not inclusive).

Step2: Determine shaded region

Shade all points where $y$ is less than $-6$, which is the area below the dashed line $y=-6$.

Step3: Plot on coordinate plane

Draw dashed horizontal line through $(0, -6)$, then shade the area beneath it.

Answer:

1. Draw a dashed horizontal line at $y=-6$ across the coordinate plane.
2. Shade the entire region below this dashed line. This shaded area represents all solutions to $y < -6$.
