graph each inequality
remember to put the correct point
p>-3
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
-11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Since the inequality is "greater than" and not "greater than or equal to," the point at p=-3 will not be included in the solution. Therefore, we will use an open circle at -3 and shade to the right of it on the number line.

-11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
To graph the inequality p > -3, we start by marking the point -3 on the number line with an open circle. Then, we shade the part of the number line that is to the right of the open circle.
