Do you want to graph?


Start with the given inequality:

x%3E-2

Set up a number line:
number_line%28500%2C-12%2C8%29

Now plot the point x=-2 on the number line


number_line%28500%2C-12%2C8%2C+-2%29


Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose x=0, and test the inequality x%3E-2


0%3E-2 Plug in x=0


Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire portion in which contains the point x=0 using the point x=-2 as the boundary.This means we shade everything to the right of the point x=-2 like this:

note: at the point x=-2, there is an open circle. This means the point x=-2 is excluded from the solution set.
