Please see the graph, made using graphing software.

Work Step by Step

$y \geq-7$ To find the boundary line, we replace the $\geq$ sign with the $=$ sign. $y=-7$ Thus, we have a horizontal line at $y=-7$. Three points on the line are $(0,-7)$, $(-4,-7)$, and $(7,-7)$. Use $(0,0)$ as a test point to determine what side to shade. $y \geq -7$ $0 \geq -7$ is a true statement, so we shade the side of the line with $(0,0)$.
