The steps to graph the inequality are provided below.

1. If the inequality contains greater than or less than sign then the boundary of the line will be dashed. If the inequality contains signs of greater than or equal to or less than or equal to then the boundary of the line will be solid.

2. Select a point (known as test point) from the plane that does not lie on the boundary on the line and substitute it in the inequality.

3. If the inequality is true then shade the region that contains the test point otherwise shade the other region when inequality is false.

Consider the inequality provided below.

$2x+y>-4$

The inequality contains the sign of greater than.

Therefore, the boundary line will be dashed.

The corresponding equation is $2x+y=-4$.

Equation of line in slope intercept form is expressed below.

$y=mx+c$

Where m is the slope and c is the intercept of y-axis.

Rewrite the equation as provided below.

Subtract $2x$ from both the sides.

$\begin{array}{c}2x+y−2x=−4−2x\\ y=−2x−4\end{array}$

Now, the equation is in the form $y=mx+c$. Here slope m of the line is $-2$ and intercept of y-axis c is $-4$.

Plot the equation.

Since, the inequality contains the greater than sign so the boundary line will be dashed.

Take a test point that does not lie on the boundary of the line, say $\left(0,0\right)$.

Substitute the point $\left(0,0\right)$in the inequality and check whether it’s true or not.

This is true.

Therefore, shade the region containing the point $\left(0,0\right)$.

Hence, the graph of the inequality $2x+y>-4$is provided below.
