First, graph the line where y=4.

graph%28200%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2Cy=4%29

Next, think to yourself, "where is y less than 4?" In this case, it's the section that's underneath the line. So, shade that portion.

Then, since the problem says "less than or equal to 4," the "y=4" line should be solid to show that it is included as part of the region.

If the problem just said "less than 4", the "y=4" line would have been dashed.
