You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x-2y>4
----------
1st: Graph the boundary as a dashed line:
2y < x-4
y < (1/2)x - 2
------------------
graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%281%2F2%29x+-2%29
------------------
2nd: Shade the half-plane BELOW the boundary.
The half-plane is the graph of the inequality.
because you want y to be LESS THAN (1/2)x -2.
