**********************

Draw a number line like this:

--------------------------------------------------
 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

Then draw an open circle at 4 like this:

--------------------------o-----------------------
 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

Now darken the number line to the right of the circle
like this:


--------------------------o=======================
 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

Now put an arrowhead on the end of the darkened part, 
like this:


--------------------------o=======================>
 -4 -3 -2 -1  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

That's the graph.
