Explanation:

`y-2x>-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\y>2x-8\\-------------------------\\\\<,\ >-\ dotted\ line\\\leq,\ \geq-\ solid\ line\\<,\ \leq-\ \ shading\ below\ the\ line\\>,\ \geq-\ shading\ above\ the\ line\\-------------------------\\\\y=2x-8-\text{It's a linear function.}\\\text{We only need two points to draw a graph.}\\\text{Choice two arbitrary values of x, substitute to the equation,}\\\text{and calculate the values of y}.\\\\for\ x=4\to y=2(4)-8=8-8=0\to A(4,\ 0)\\for\ x=0\to y=2(0)-8=0-8=-8\to B(0,\ -8)`
