The easiest way to plot these is to start by thinking about $\"y+=+-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If you plot that it is a horizontal line that runs thru (0, -4)
\n" ); document.write( "The given equation says $\"y+%3E+-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So that measn the line y = -4 is NOT in the plot, but every y 'above' (greater than) that line IS in the plot.
\n" ); document.write( "To represent that, when you draw in the line $\"y+=+-4\"$ draw it using a dashed line. That means the points on the line are not in the plot. If they were in the plot (for instance $\"y+%3E=+-4\"$ then draw the line as a solid line,
\n" ); document.write( "Now shade in everything above the line.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
