Answer: Bottom left corner (southwest corner)


(4, \infty)

The left endpoint is x = 4, but we don't include this endpoint because of the open hole. We use a parenthesis to indicate "don't include the endpoint"

The right endpoint is positive infinity. We always use a parenthesis with either infinity since we cannot reach infinity

The interval from 4 to infinity is written as
(4, \infty) which is like saying
4 < x < \infty
