Graph x-y>-4

$x - y > - 4$

Step 1

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Solve for $y$ .

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- y > - 4 - x$

Divide each term in $- y > - 4 - x$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- y > - 4 - x$ by $- 1$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- y}{- 1} < \frac{- 4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} < \frac{- 4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y < \frac{- 4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $- 4$ by $- 1$ .

$y < 4 + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y < 4 + \frac{x}{1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$y < 4 + x$

Rearrange terms.

$y < x + 4$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Find the values of $m$ and $b$ using the form $y = m x + b$ .

$m = 1$

$b = 4$

The slope of the line is the value of $m$ , and the y-intercept is the value of $b$ .

Slope: $1$

y-intercept: $(0, 4)$

Slope: $1$

y-intercept: $(0, 4)$

Step 3

Graph a dashed line, then shade the area below the boundary line since $y$ is less than $x + 4$ .

$y < x + 4$
