Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The inequality is $y\gt-4$ Step 1:- Replace the inequality symbol with $=$ and graph the linear equation. $y=-4$ Graph a horizontal line with $y-$ intercept $-4$. The line is dashed because equality is not included. Step 2:- Choose the solution set using the inequality. In the given equation there is a greater than symbol. Hence, the upper part of the line is the solution set.
