Answer
Refer to the image below for the graph.
Work Step by Step
The value of $x$ is less than $-4$.
Since the upper limit 4 is not included in the set, a close parenthesis will be used.
The inequality is unbounded on the left side, so $-\infty$ will be used.
Thus, the interval notation equivalent of the given inequality is:
$(-\infty, -4)$
To graph this interval on a number line, plot a hollow dot (or a hole) at $-4$.
Then, shade the region to its left.
Refer to the attached image in the answer part above for the graph.
