4x+3y > -12

Start with the equation of the line
4x+3y = -12

It is easy to establish the intercepts for this linear equation:
(0,-4) " and " (-3,0)

Draw a straight line through these two points.

Since the original inequality 4x+3y > -12
indicates that values on the y-axis above (-4) are part of the solution, shade the area above the line you have drawn indicating the shaded area as the solution set.
