See below

Explanation:

First, graph it as a regular line, y=x+9. Then, in order to find out which side you should shade, you should plug in a point. Let's use (0,0) to make things easier.
Plugging in these coordinates for y and x back into the original inequality would yield the equation 0>0+9 = 0>9. This is clearly not true, so you would shade the side that does NOT include (0,0). graph{y>x+9 [-12.5, 7.5, -3.36, 6.64]}
