Step 1) Draw a blank xy axis. Label each axis and write numeric values on each axis (like this for example. The grid lines are optional)


Step 2) Graph the horizontal line y = -2. This line goes through points that have a y coordinate of -2. So for instance, it goes through the points (1, -2) and (4, -2)


Step 3) Make this a solid line. We are including the boundary. Why? Because we have an "or equal to" that's part of the inequality.


Step 4) Shade above the solid line. We shade above since we have a "greater than" sign.
