#y > -5#

Let's find the equation first. This is a straight line, where every value of y is #-5#. So the equation of the line is #y = -5#

graph{y = -5x/x}

#color(white)(0)#

Now we need to find out of the sign is #< or ># or if it is #>= or <=#

Since the line is dashed, the sign in either #< or >#

#color(white)(0)#

The shaded area shows values greater than #-5#

So our inequality is #y > -5#
