<reasoning>

Analyze the compound inequality

\[
x \le -3 \quad \text{or} \quad x \ge 4
\]

Determine the boundary points and intervals

• For \(x \le -3\): A solid circle at \(-3\) with a ray pointing to the left.
• For \(x \ge 4\): A solid circle at \(4\) with a ray pointing to the right.

</reasoning>

<answer>
To graph the compound inequality \(x \le -3\) or \(x \ge 4\) on the number line:

1. Place a solid circle at \(-3\) and draw a ray pointing to the left.
2. Place a solid circle at \(4\) and draw a ray pointing to the right.
