Start with the given inequality:

Set up a number line:

Now plot the point x=-7 on the number line

Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose x=0, and test the inequality

Plug in

Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire portion in which contains the point x=0 using the point x=-7 as the boundary.This means we shade everything to the right of the point x=-7 like this
Graph of with the shaded region in blue
note: at the point x=-7, there is an closed circle. This means the point x=-7 is included from the solution set.
