Question 23366
Before you can graph {{{y<-x-4}}}, first graph y = -x-4, which is a straight line with y intercept -4 and slope -1.  This means to plot the y-intercept by going DOWN 4 units on the y axis.  The the slope of -1 means {{{-1/1= (rise)/(run)}}}.  With your pencil on the y-intercept at -4, go DOWN 1 and RIGHT 1 unit and put another point.  Graph this line as a DOTTED line because the inequality  {{{y<-x-4}}} with the symbol "<" means DO NOT INCLUDE THE LINE.  Also shade BELOW the line.  In algebra.com I can only draw the line for you.  You will need to make it a DOTTED LINE, and you will have to shade BELOW the line.  

{{{graph(400,400, -10,10,-10,10, -x-4) }}}

Dont' forget:  DOTTED LINE, SHADE BELOW THE LINE!!
