Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
-2 > y + 2
to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable y

Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality $-2>y + 2$.
$-2-2>y+2 - 2$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$-4>y$, which can also be written as $y < - 4$.

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $y < - 4$. On the number - line, you would plot an open circle at - 4 (because the inequality is strict, $y$ cannot equal - 4) and draw a ray pointing to the left.
