Solve the inequality. Graph and check your solutions.

y-2>-14

y>

-12

To graph this inequality on a number line, we first plot a closed circle at -12 and draw an arrow to the right.

Then, to check the solutions, we can pick a value greater than -12, such as -10. If we substitute this value into the inequality, we get:

-10 - 2 > -14

-12 > -14

Since this statement is true, we can conclude that all values greater than -12 satisfy the inequality.
