You can put this solution on YOUR website!

f%28x%29+=+sqrt%28x%2B4%29-4
choose some values for x, make a table
x|f%28x%29+
-2|-2.6.......................f%28-2%29+=+sqrt%28-2%2B4%29-4=sqrt%282%29-4=-2.6
0|-2 .......................f%280%29+=+sqrt%280%2B4%29-4=2-4=-2+
2|-1.6.......................f%282%29+=+sqrt%282%2B4%29-4=sqrt%286%29-4=-1.6
5|-1.......................f%285%29+=+sqrt%285%2B4%29-4=sqrt%285%29-4=3-4=-1
plot these points and draw a graph

You'll need to use x-values that when substituted, give you INTEGER values for y. 
DO NOT use x-values that'll lead to non-integer y-values - as the other person did - since they're a lot more difficult to manually plot.
You already have 2 of those points on the graph. They are: - 4, which gives you - 4 for y, and point (- 4, - 4). You also have - 3,
which gives you - 3 for y, and the point (- 3, - 3). Two other x-values can be 0 and 5, which give you points, (0, - 2), and (5, - 1).
Join those 4 points!!
