Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.
y < -4

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary point

The boundary point for \(y < - 4\) is \(y=-4\). Since the inequality is strict (\(<\)), we use an open circle at \(y = - 4\) on the number line.

Step2: Determine the direction of the graph

The inequality \(y < - 4\) means all values of \(y\) that are less than \(-4\). So, we draw an arrow to the left of the open - circle at \(-4\) on the number line.

Answer:

Place an open circle at \(-4\) on the number line and draw an arrow to the left of \(-4\).
