You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+y>-8
First you need to put this in slope-intercept form;
y>-x-8
Now the y-intercept=-8
slope = -1
So you plot the point(0,-8) on the graph, then with the slope of , find your next point.
The line connecting points is going to be dotted line and then shade the area > -8.

Hope this helps you understand
