Answer

The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $y\gt-2x-4$ Graph $y=-2x-4$. Use a dashed line because the inequality symbol is $ \gt$. Test $(0,0)$. $\Rightarrow y\gt-2x-4$ $\Rightarrow 0\gt-2(0)-4$ $\Rightarrow 0\gt0-4$ $\Rightarrow 0\gt-4$ Hence, $(0,0)$ is a solution, shade the half-plane that contains $(0,0)$.
