Answer
$(-8,-2]$
Work Step by Step
The graph of the given inequality
\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel}
-8\lt x \le -2
,\end{array}
includes the points from $
-8
$ (exclusive) to $
-2
$ (inclusive).
In the graph above, a hollowed dot is used for $\lt$ or $\gt$. A shaded dot is used for $\le$ or $\ge.$
In interval notation, this is equivalent to $
(-8,-2]
.$
