Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer
The graph of the inequality \(x<4\) is a vertical line at x=4 with the area to the left shaded to represent all x-values less than 4.
1Step 1: Identify the Line
First we need to draw the line x = 4. On the x-axis, find the point that represents 4. This line is a vertical line that goes through this point.
2Step 2: Determine the Inequality Region
Since the inequality sign is '<', the area that satisfies the inequality is the area lying to the left of the line x=4. If the inequality sign was '>', we would shade to the right of the line.
3Step 3: Shade the Appropriate Region
Color the area to the left of the line. This colored area represents all the x-values that are less than 4 in accordance with our inequality.
