See a solution process below:

We can rewrite these inequalities as:

$m > -2$ ; $m <= 6$

Or, in interval notation:

$(-2, 6]$

To graph this we will draw a vertical lines at $-2$ and $6$ on the horizontal axis.

The line at $-2$ will be a dashed line because the inequality operator does not contain an "or equal to" clause.

The line at $6$ will be a solid line because the inequality operator does contain an "or equal to" clause.

We will shade between the two lines to illustrate the interval.
