Just rearrange the inequality, isolating for y.

1/2x - 4y < 4
Add 4y to both sides, and subtract 4 from both sides:
1/2x -4 < 4y
Divide both sides by 4:
1/8x -1 < y

If you wanted to graph this, you'd draw a dotted line along the line represented by 1/8x - 1 = y, and then shade everything above it.

%281%2F2%29x-4y%3C4
-4y%3C-%281%2F2%29x%2B4
y%3E%281%2F8%29x-1
y-intercept is at (0,-1)
second point is (8,0) because slope is y+1 and x+8
draw a dotted line through these 2 points and shade upward
